News / HFMA launches qualifications

The HFMA is to unveil its masters-level qualification programme for 2017/18 at the annual conference this month. The programme offers a route to gaining an MBA in healthcare business and finance via a diploma and higher diploma. Candidates must complete three modules to gain the diploma, including a compulsory core module on how NHS finance works, and a further three for the higher diploma. Once the higher diploma has been gained, they can move on to a full MBA. 

CCAB- or CIMA-qualified accountants may be eligible to enter the higher diploma directly.

The qualification is aimed at healthcare finance staff; clinicians and clinical professionals; NHS healthcare professionals and managers; and other professionals working in a healthcare-related role. 

Those who have worked fewer than two years in healthcare or who do not currently work in the sector can achieve an HFMA Certificate in Healthcare Business and Finance by completing the core module, followed by a further certificate in any of the optional modules. There is then the option to move to the diploma or higher diploma.

Registration to the diploma and higher diploma is open for applicants from 7 December.
