Understanding NHS jargon
When you are new to working with the NHS it can be difficult to get used to some of the language and terms that are used especially when acronyms are concerned.
We’ve also put together a list of all the acronyms and commonly used healthcare abbreviations used by Finance Teams in Lincolnshire for you to access when you need them. The document is restricted to financial terms and those used by Finance on a very regular basis and as such is not intended to explain all jargon used in the NHS.
This is intended to support budget managers and new starters into our Finance teams in order to ensure a common understanding of the many phrases we often use.
We hope that you find this a helpful tool!
