Hospitals and finance
PA - Wellington Hospital boards need to spend more money on continuing education, a visiting specialist in health management. Dr John Phin, has said in Wellington. The president of the Canadian College of Health Service Executives, Dr Phin said that in times of financial restraints, education programmes were often looked on as frills. . “But if you have more limited resources you have got to be able to make better
decisions about priorities,” said Dr Phin. He said that education programmes were needed for both board executives and elected members to familiarise them with the topics they were dealing with. There would be a great pay-off for relatively little investment. Dr Phin is visiting New Zealand on a World Health Organisation fellowship and addressed a conference of the Hospital Boards’ Association.
