Cost pressure and quality expectations on health service financial analysis are rising at the same time. Variation in financial analysis between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in health service financial analysis, not around theory headings. Most organisations already have a policy on this area of health and pharmaceutical services; far fewer can show it working. Every module pairs a short input on financial analysis with structured practice on the participant's own material. It suits anyone whose decisions touch health service financial analysis, in large organisations and small ones alike. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in financial analysis that were visible long before the incident. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
