Keynote Presentation - Leveraging the NHS estate to deliver social value (Confirmed)
Becky Jones
Social Value Specialist
NHS Arden & GEM CSU
For the past decade, the Social Value Act has given public authorities a legal responsibility to contribute to the social, environmental and economic sustainability of their communities, and society as a whole.
The need to adhere to recent legislative shifts in procurement, combined with the NHS’s ambition to become the world’s first net zero health system, has placed social value high on the list of ‘must dos’ for those working in and with health and care systems.
In this session, Becky will focus on the integral role that estates can play in a partnership approach to social value including:
- The opportunity of using the NHS estate to fully enable integration of Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations
- Balancing the need to bring in revenue against operating more sustainably
- Carbon currency and how the estate is key to delivering this.

Keynote Presentation - Delivering a Neighbourhood Hub in York (Confirmed)
Karina Dare
Primary Care Estates Strategy Lead
NHS Property Services Ltd
This project demonstrates delivery of some of the key recommendations of the Fuller Report from an estates perspective.
NHS Property Services partnered with ICB, GP Federation, PCNs, Acute and Mental Health Trusts to reuse underutilised healthcare space and to support creation of a neighbourhood hub.
The facilities benefit 22,000 patients who will receive an enhanced range of services near to where they live. Social prescribing and the community café is being used by a wide range of services and charities and allows local people to create support networks and potentially reduce loneliness and social isolation.
The range of services offered continues to expand and a second site development is now being considered.
Key Learning Points:
- Strategic Engagement and Agreement - Agreeing a joint strategic objective at the beginning and Senior engagement and leadership at CCG/ICB, Provider and NHSPS
- Neighbourhood Services – development of facilities for local services, re-use of existing assets, system collaboration
- Effective Communication - Good communication maintained throughout the development and delivery phase.
- Partnering - Trust between teams meant an acceptance of some risk and ability to proceed with construction and this resulted in earlier delivery.
- Using scarce capital – Minimising capital costs, using proceeds from NHSPS disposals.
