Social Value is GOOD Business: How to leverage its power! - Life Science Access Academy

Turn Social Value from a compliance challenge into a commercial edge

Masterclass Details:

In 2026, Social Value is more than a contractual requirement. It is a competitive differentiator. As the NHS continues to embed Social Value into procurement and partnership frameworks, Life Sciences companies that treat it as a strategic asset are better positioned to win trust, build relationships and secure opportunities.

You’ll learn how to move beyond generic claims and translate your company’s purpose, initiatives and capabilities into meaningful value for NHS partners.

Claire will share practical strategies for developing and communicating Social Value offers that resonate with decision-makers, meet NHS expectations and unlock long-term commercial benefit.

Join live to ask questions, refine your approach and discover how Social Value can work for both patients and your bottom line.
