Healthcare managers face future outside the NHS, says IHM president

Many more healthcare managers may end up working in the private and voluntary sector, said the president of the Institute of Healthcare Management.

Speaking at the IHM's annual conference in Cardiff, Gerry McScorley said the growing range of organisations delivering healthcare meant many new career opportunities.

At the same conference, IHM chief executive Sue Hodgetts said the current environment for healthcare managers was like trying to 'paddle a white water raft through ever more turbulent waters'.
