Volunteer Feedback Survey
We are always eager to hear existing (and potential) panel members' views on how we can help support you better. The Volunteer Survey offers a formal mechanism for you to feed back your views to CIPFA.

Devolution and the NHS: Impacts on policy and structure across the UK.
This new report from CIPFA looks at the divergence between the health sectors in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In England the health service is influenced by the economics of the market; in Scotland and Wales the pursuit of better health services has been via partnerships, while in Northern Ireland health and social care are truly integrated.

The report shows that while many policies are similar, change is happening at a rapid pace across all four countries, with varying degrees of success.

TIS Health
Do you work in the health sector in Scotland? Are you looking for a way to share your expertise? If the answers are yes, then contributing to TIS Health could be for you.

TIS Health is an information portal for finance practitioners at all levels, and the editorial board is looking for contributors to expand the Scottish section. This involves reviewing new drafts and ‘Scottish-proofing’ them where necessary, producing additional sections where arrangements differ significantly.

How you contribute is up to you – join the editorial board, contribute on a one-off basis or act as a reader. In return, you will have the chance to meet with other practitioners, research areas of interest, and develop your professional skills. Editorial board members also have complimentary access to TISonline for the duration of their membership.

If you are interested in any of the above vacancies, please contact Sarah Jeal on 020 8667 8156 or at sarah.jeal@ipf.co.uk
