Healthcare finance under discussion
The webcast will include the key findings from Grant Thornton’s latest survey Healthcare: The Finance Flow, which looks at financing challenges within the healthcare sector.

The survey reveals that there are some areas of British industry that are coping better with the difficult economic conditions, and one of these is clearly the healthcare industry. Underpinned by the changing demographics of an aging population and a government health service that is increasingly looking to the private sector to shoulder the burden of care, there are many areas within the healthcare sector that should demonstrate above average growth in the coming years.

Of course, the industry is not without its challenges and some niches within the sector are finding conditions harder than others, hit by pressure on fee income and instability in the property markets.

Panelists include:
