The Value-Based Health and Care Academy
Health and social care systems around the world are finding it increasingly challenging to meet the growing needs of citizens. Focusing on interventions and care that offer the greatest value to the person at the lowest possible cost improves sustainability while maximising outcomes.
The Value-Based Health and Care Academy is designed to support leaders and senior managers from across global health, social care, and life science industries to adopt Value-Based Health and Care within their individual organisations successfully.
The Academy benefits from Swansea University’s global reputation and academic excellence in this growing field to deliver its case-based, practice-driven educational courses, its research opportunities, and bespoke consultancy services. With the recent designation of Wales as a Global Innovation Hub for Value-Based Healthcare by the World Economic Forum, the Academy is at the heart of a growing global network for the advancement of this approach.
