Transforming NHS finance with Oracle Fusion Cloud

For more than 20 years, NHS Shared Business Services has worked with Oracle to support the critical financial services behind the health system. Today, that partnership is evolving through Oracle Fusion Cloud, creating a more standardised and scalable approach to finance and procurement.

Erika Bannerman explains how NHS Shared Business Services has modernised its Oracle estate to strengthen financial capabilities, connect critical systems and turn data into more meaningful insight. With the platform now supporting the Department of Health and Social Care’s annualised budget, the transformation is helping establish new financial best practices and change the way teams work across the health system.

NHS Shared Business Services: releasing time back to care with Oracle

“Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and OCI have helped us meet our mission of releasing time back to care. By standardising and scaling our finance platform, we’re creating headroom to support the NHS where it matters most.”
