Lee Outhwaite, Chief Finance and Strategy Officer of Derbyshire Community Healthcare Services NHS Foundation Trust and former ICS Finance Lead for Derbyshire leads a session on integrated care at the HEFMA Leadership Forum.
Lee will explain how delivering on system-thinking requires the focus for investment decisions to move beyond the limitations of a single NHS organisation and consider how to deliver the best outcomes for the tax payer. This will require a change of mindset as estates and facilities professionals take their knowledge forwards and apply it to a new way of thinking, planning and delivering healthcare services.
Lee has worked in the NHS, since 1993, in Devon, Hampshire, London and Derbyshire. He was appointed to his first Finance Director role in 2007 and has spent three years working as a Regional Director of Finance, initially for the TDA and then NHSI.
Lee sits on the Council of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and is Vice Chair of the Institute’s Public Policy and Reform Faculty Board. He is also a Trustee of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), and sits on their Policy and Research and System Finance Committees. In addition, he is trying to complete a Professional Doctorate at Keele University, in the Public Policy and Management faculty.
As well as the informative speaker programme, the Leadership Forum also includes an exhibition at which suppliers will feature their latest product and service innovations, the Awards Dinner and extensive networking opportunities.
