Content and aims

Background
Fraud has been identified as the crime that people are most likely to experience in the United Kingdom and no individual or organisation is immune from the risk. NHS organisations have access to experienced counter fraud specialists who are equipped and determined to lead the fight against fraud affecting the NHS; but everyone has a part to play in combating fraud.
The NHS Counter Fraud Authority estimates that fraud costs the NHS £1.21 billion a year - enough money to pay for over 40,000 staff nurses, or to purchase over 5,000 frontline ambulances. This is taxpayers' money that is taken away from patient care and falls into the hands of criminals.
Our speakers
- Paul Tiffen, fraud hub manager for the NHS Counter Fraud Authority.
- Colin Edwards, a counter fraud specialist responsible for NHS trusts and Integrated Care Boards in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight area.
