Clarke begins presidency
Ms Clarke, group chief executive of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, has an extensive background in NHS finance, joining the health service in 1991 as a national graduate finance trainee. She received the chains of office from Mr Gregory before announcing her presidential theme – Taking pride in our future – which reflects her belief that people from across the NHS workforce are key to delivering more integrated care models.
The association made eight industry awards at the conference, including Finance Director of the Year Karen Geoghegan, and honoured 84 students who gained HFMA intermediate or masters-level qualifications. Edward Gold, head of costing and income at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, won the 2019 Tony Whitfield Learner of the Year Award.
