Supporting you with your accreditation journey

Supporting NHS organisations in the South West, as they work toward their One NHS Finance Towards Excellence Accreditation levels.

This page is designed to help NHS finance staff in the South West with their accreditation journey by pulling together helpful content from One NHS Finance, sharing case studies on the benefits of accreditation, and publishing good practice example proformas. The South West Finance Academy can also support you during the application process by answering questions, reviewing draft proformas, and putting you in touch with an accreditation buddy inside or outside of your system to give advice. Email charley.spicer@hfma.org.uk for more information on this.

Please visit the national Towards Excellence Accreditation page for all the information you need on the application and assessment processes for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
