Raising social value standards in healthcare

23 November 2023

LOCATION: Microsoft Teams

ORGANISER: Social Value Network

ADMISSION: Free to anyone working in or with the public sector

Event Synopsis

NHS Arden & GEM and Social Value Quality Mark CIC are working in partnership to nurture and celebrate the highest social value standards in healthcare. At this webinar we are launching the UK’s first social value accreditation developed exclusively for the health sector and sharing how access to specialist support, resources and skills can enable organisations to achieve this.

Embedding social value enables us to create a resilient, sustainable and integrated healthcare system with a happier, healthier workforce.

By working collaboratively, the public sector – and its partners – can play a unique role in positively transforming health and wellbeing but achieving this requires specialist support, access to clear, consistent information, and a way of capturing and measuring progress.

Event details
The session will take place via Microsoft Teams on Thursday 23rd November 2023 between 11am and 12pm.
The webinar is free to attend for anyone working in, or with, the public sector with an interest in or responsibility for social value, sustainability, strategy, partnerships or net zero. This includes Integrated Care Boards, NHS Trusts, primary care, local government, VCFSEs and private sector organisations delivering publicly commissioned health services.

Webinar agenda
Chaired by Arden & GEM’s Executive Director of Strategy and Innovation, Alison Tonge, the webinar will cover:

  • The challenges within healthcare and how a strategic approach to social value can help
  • How collaborative working has raised social value standards and is driving community benefit
  • The benefits of a health specific quality mark
