Building resilience – making the economic case for prevention

Thursday 23rd February 2023
With The Health Foundation

The nation’s health is its most important asset. Good health enables individuals to contribute to their families, communities, and society, and is essential for a productive workforce and strong economy. Yet poor health is being exacerbated by rising cost of living and undermining the UK economy. The nation’s underlying ill health is now the primary reason for the rise in older workers being out of the labour market altogether.

This event will demonstrate why we have to prioritise prevention in policymaking and outline the future consequences of not acting now.
