Since 2005 NHS Shared Business Services has pioneered the concept of shared services for the NHS.
This unique joint venture between the Department of Health and Steria has led the way in developing and providing finance, accounting, payroll and procurement and payroll solutions to all types of NHS organisations, not only saving money but delivering real value to Trusts across England.
How does NHS SBS work? Paper invoices received by NHS SBS are scanned using unique technology and entered onto our system. Electronic invoices are entered directly on to the system. Once there, invoices are available electronically to approvers within our client organisations, who can authorise invoices for payment online. NHS SBS then processes the authorised payment.
Year end is a less stressful time and the whole process to close accounts is a lot smoother and quicker.
