SMART is a confirmed sponsor of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (hfma) Annual Foundation Trust Conference taking place at The Queens Hotel, Leeds on the 5th and 6th July 2007.

The two day event looks set to attract 250 Directors of Finance and senior NHS finance professionals. The conference centres on the theme ‘Meeting the Competitive Challenge' and is aimed at both approved NHS Foundation Trusts and aspiring foundation trusts.

With six years experience of working with University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and with over 20 years of commercial workforce management experience SMART will be a point of interest to those trusts that are existing foundation trusts and to those who are aspiring to achieve this status.

SMART will be keen to demonstrate how its web-based Rostering software helps to reduce costs associated with bank/agency staff and temporary nursing. With recent press coverage highlighting the £1bn spend by the NHS on stand-in nurses to cover absences; this is sure to be an important issue for those attending the event.
