Why HFMA 2026 matters
Clinical supply spend, accounted for to the unit
The HFMA annual conference is the biggest event in the NHS finance calendar, bringing finance directors, chief financial officers, costing and financial management teams together from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. With pressure on every system, this year's programme focuses on productivity, digital transformation and delivering value across the four nations.
Genesis is attending to meet finance leaders who need clearer sight of one of the hardest spend categories to see: the clinical products used in theatres, cath labs and wards. In the exhibition village, we'll be showing and discussing:
- How point-of-use scanning ties every implant and consumable to the patient, procedure and cost centre, so cost-per-case reflects what was actually used, not what was estimated after the fact.
- How Genesis Inventory shows the value of stock on the shelf, including expired, consigned and over-ordered items, so working capital decisions rest on real consumption.
- How Genesis Sourcing and Genesis Savings check prices and invoices against contract terms before payment, protecting the savings negotiated through group purchasing and framework agreements.
- How Genesis Intelligence gives finance, procurement and clinical teams one shared view of variation between surgeons and sites, so value conversations start from the same numbers.
