The Value in Health programme is focused on leading and shaping national and local discussions around investing in health and care. Through our research-orientated partnership with CF, we use our networks, policy insight and analytical skills to maximise the broader understanding and impact of value in health.

Through a dedicated suite of products, this partnership helps leaders understand, analyse and narrate the evidence for undertaking the much-needed shift in strategy and resourcing to truly embed prevention.
