Financial models

Flexible commercial options

Commercial models can be agreed with commissioning NHS Trusts to reflect local objectives, specialty requirements and operational constraints.

Common approaches

• Day rates for defined teams and sessions
• Tariff-linked models based on an agreed proportion of tariff

Value for money and shared realities

Financial structures should support value for money while recognising that NHS Trusts maintain their own infrastructure and consumable costs. The intent is a partnership approach that is transparent, deliverable and sustainable.
