Social Value Masterclass: Measuring the value of public health

Thursday 25th January 2024
With Public Health Network Cymru

In times of scarce resources, particularly in the area of population health and prevention, collaboration among decision-makers, budget-holders, practitioners and researchers is crucial. This collective effort should aim to maximise the wider (social, economic, and environmental) value created from spending and investment in (public) health services and interventions.

This Masterclass is designed to enhance understanding of the broader holistic value of public health through exploring the concept of Social Value. It equips participants with the basic knowledge and tools to look at the wider value of their service areas within public health.

Learning outcomes:

• Promote the importance of capturing and measuring the wider value of public health
• Enhance understanding of why value and Social Value are important by introducing the strategic and policy context in Wales and beyond
• Showcase practical applications of how the Social Value of public health interventions and services can be captured
