WELSH GOVERNMENT’S INTENSIVE LEARNING ACADEMY PROGRAMME

Intensive Learning Academies in Wales The Value-Based Health and Care (VBHC) Academy at Swansea University is part of the Welsh Government Intensive Learning Academy (ILA) Programme. In A Healthier Wales , the long-term plan for Health and Social Care in Wales, Welsh Government committed to establish ILAs to support the professional capability and system leadership which is fit for the challenges for health and social care systems today and tomorrow.

The ILA Programme will enable Academies to be established by Welsh Universities with the expectation that they will act as hubs in priority policy or challenge areas. A ‘case based’ approach to learning and teaching will be used and creative thinking, grounded in practical learning will be encouraged. Education programmes will be informed by the latest research and evidence with experience shared across countries and sectors. Academies will offer master’s, doctoral and executive level education as well as masterclasses and symposia alongside research and consultancy in their areas of interest and all the Academies will collaborate on aligned content and learning through the ILA Programme.

We are delighted to be in the first wave of the ILA programme and to be working closely with our colleagues in the other two inaugural Academies:

· All Wales Academy for Innovation in Health and Social Care (Swansea University, Cardiff University)

· Applied Learning for Preventative Health: ALPHAcademy (Bangor University) Located in Wales, one of a small number of health and care systems to lead the global adoption of Value-Based Health and Care, The VBHC Academy can call upon a global faculty and reach, drawing on international evidence and experience and attracting learners from many different sectors, regions and countries.

Are you eligible for VBHC Academy funding? Our grant funding from the Welsh Government ILA Programme allows us to offer several generous scholarships to professional learners from across Wales in Social Care, the NHS and Third Sector organisations for our different educational programmes. If you work within a health, social care or third sector organisation within Wales, you may be eligible to apply for VBHC Academy funding. Visit our dedicated funding page for latest funding updates and for more information on the funding application process.

Welsh Government is pleased to be supporting

the Value-Based Health and Care Academy, through the Intensive Learning Academy Programme, which is part of A Healthier Wales, our long-term plan for health and social care. The Academies will focus on the professional capability and system leadership which our health and care system needs for the future. Academies will act as hubs for developing the skills and expertise needed; for exchanging knowledge and good practice between sectors and across borders; for translating research into outcomes; and for working with external partners. Graduates of the Academies will take a leading role in planning and delivering system change in priority areas, such as Value-Based Health and Care.

VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE ACADEMY

DOCTORATE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (DBA) MSc ADVANCED HEALTH AND CARE MANAGEMENT (VALUE-BASED) EXECUTIVE EDUCATION. PG DIPLOMA, MASTERCLASSES. E-LEARNING

EDUCATION Aimed at leaders and aspiring leaders in health systems, social care, the third sector and the life-science industries, our educational programmes include intensive executive education that will quickly give you the understanding you need to embed the principles of VBHC in your organisation, through to our Postgraduate Diploma and MSc. in Advanced Health and Care Management (Value-Based) for those who are seeking in-depth knowledge of the subject and how to implement it in practice. With case-based learning that draws upon global and local exemplars and a workplace-based project, our 180 credit MSc. can be taken full-time or flexibly over two years and is designed for the busy professional learner to be practical and relevant but grounded in the theory and global experience.

RESEARCH Value-Based Health and Care is a new paradigm that is being adopted across the World in response to the challenges that health and care systems are facing, offering for the first time a way to create better outcomes for people receiving care at the lowest possible cost. Whilst the principles are understood there is an urgent need for research to inform the development of VBHC and how best it can be implemented in economies with different health and care funding mechanisms. The VBHC Academy works with health and care systems and global life science industry partners to provide thought leadership and to research how to overcome the challenges of adoption and implementation including innovative and outcome-based agreement models. We are keen to work with other partners to accelerate understanding. Please get in touch to explore research opportunities and partnerships.

CONSULTANCY Value-Based Health and Care

Academy is available to help public and independent health and care organisations, integrated care systems and life science companies who are keen to adopt VBHC. Working with our delivery partners we can design tailored programmes of education, advice, mentorship and ongoing support if required that will be designed to meet the needs of your organisation or team and can be the start of a longer-term collaborative relationship.

On behalf of Social Care Wales, I am pleased to

endorse the VBHC Academy. The programme will provide an opportunity for leaders and aspiring leaders across health and social care to develop the knowledge and skills required to embed the principles of Value-Based Health and Care across our sectors. Putting people at the centre and focusing on ‘what matters most’ is at the heart of our legislative framework. The educational programmes will support true integration and development of a common language in service collaboration to support outcomes focused delivery across the whole health and

care pathway and I look forward to the Academy

helping to accelerate research in this important and emerging area of health and care policy.

SUE EVANS CHIEF EXECUTIVE, SOCIAL CARE WALES

ABOUT VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE GLOBALLY We believe that the primary focus of our health and care systems should be achieving the outcomes that matter to people focusing on their wellbeing, in both health, care and disease, at the lowest possible cost when building on people’s strengths and targeting our interventions on what really makes a difference. This is the essence of Value-Based Health and Care (VBHC). VBHC represents a goal that has the potential to align all stakeholders in our health and care systems. A focus on achieving the outcomes that matter to people at the lowest possible cost, brings together patients, families, clinicians, provider organisations, governments, private insurers and life science companies. Working towards the same goals will magnify the positive impact we have on people’s lives, including their emotional and physical health.

The concept of VBHC was first introduced for health systems in 2006, by Professors Porter and Teisberg in their book Redefining Health Care.

SOME OF THE COUNTRIES AND

REGIONS LEADING IN VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE •Wales •Australia •Basque Country •Brazil •Catalonia

•Canada •Denmark •England •India •Italy •Ireland •Netherlands •Portugal •Scotland •Singapore •Sweden •USA

Since then, there has been significant global uptake in the implementation of VBHC. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), The World Economic Forum (WEF) and The European Commission are all providing strong leadership, direction and practical opportunities to support the adoption of VBHC. Many countries around the world now have national strategies that are fully aligned with the VBHC principles - A Healthier Wales, the Long-Term Plan for NHS England, Sláintecare in Ireland, Outcomes Based Healthcare in the Netherlands, to name a few. Social care practitioners already place great importance on what matters most to the people they care for and social care organisations focus their resources on the impact they are having as well as the activities they carry out. The Social Services and Well-being Act in Wales enshrines the importance of shared goals (personal outcomes), so that people live the best lives possible and build on their own strengths and capabilities to maximise the effects of interventions and to commit resources more effectively. These principles of outcomes-focused practice align closely with the VBHC approach and offer an opportunity for a common narrative between health and social care systems. We have developed education programmes that focus on the implementation of VBHC, bringing together the latest practical insights from organisations around the world and the latest findings from academic research. We have a global Faculty to support our international community of learners, so that we can all learn together and over time implement VBHC together.

VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE IN WALES

Health and Care systems around the word face the combined challenges of growing and more complex demand, demographic change and resource constraint. In Wales, the devolved Government has committed to creating a sustainable future for these vital services through a focus on Value: reducing expenditure on interventions and care of low-value or which demonstrate unwarranted variation and investing instead in improving the outcomes that matter most to users of services at the lowest possible cost. Our programme of education for Value-Based Health and Care (VBHC) draws on the growing experience of this new paradigm in Wales and in other Regions and systems in Europe and beyond. Recognised by the World Economic Forum as a Global Innovator Hub for VBHC and OECD for its leadership and commitment to VBHC implementation, Wales understands the importance of Value in all aspects of system design and leadership: in the allocation of resource, throughout the whole of care pathways and in the procurement of services and healthcare technologies. With just over 3 million citizens served by a common health and care system, Wales is ideally placed to be a testbed for innovation and new models of care delivery.

Swansea University has long history of partnering with Health and Care system and life-science industry leaders. Now we are excited to be bringing rigorous thought-leadership, insights and research that inform the development and practical implementation of Value- Based Health and Care. Participants in our programmes will benefit from a rich understanding of this emerging approach and will be exposed to leaders, practitioners and academics from a range of care settings, systems and sectors, learn from real world cases and the lived experience and perspectives of fellow participants as well as from the expert faculty. Although grounded in theory, our programmes are steeped in the practice of VBHC. Upon completion, participants will be better equipped to lead and deliver VBHC in their organisations, to overcome some of the barriers and challenges, and to partner effectively in ecosystems globally that increasingly are adopting these approaches in response to the sustainability challenge.

The Value-Based Health and Care Academy will provide academic rigour in teaching the principles of Value-Based care, working in partnership with the National VBHC Programme. It will also be a vehicle for growing the research base, cementing Wales’ reputation as a leader in this field, and ensure that health and social care staff in Wales can access a gold standard of VBHC education close to home SALLY LEWIS NATIONAL CLINICAL LEAD

to discuss with peers how they might apply the learning to their own work environments. In both Courses, we follow- up with learners following the Course to understand the VBHC impact they have had in their organisations. The 7-module course is purposefully sequenced over a number of weeks with each module building on the previous modules. It must be taken in its entirety. The seven modules include: • Pre-Course preparation: Course preparation materials will be available two weeks prior to the start of the Course • Module 1: Introduction to VBHC Course and goal setting • Module 2: Principles of VBHC • Module 3: Translating VBHC into practice • Module 4: The role of the Life Science industry in a VBHC system • Module 5: Negotiation to achieve long-term Value- Based partnerships • Module 6: Adopting a strategy for delivering VBHC • Module 7: Building a sustainable VBHC Community of Practice The first part of the blended Course is a virtual meeting which includes: 1. An overview of the Course structure 2. An opportunity for participants to discuss their learning objectives 3. A review of the theory of Value-Based Health and Care. This is followed by a 2-day in-person meeting, which consists of two full days of learning covering the same content as the virtual 7-module Course. Networking opportunities are built into this Course, with the inclusion of a dinner and an evening keynote lecture on a topic related to VBHC.

We offer VBHC Executive Education in two formats:

• A fully on-line, 7-module Course. This consists of seven 2-hour modules delivered virtually over a number of weeks with associated pre-reading materials and post- Course follow-up. • A blended Course . This consists of on-line learning, a 2-day in-person meeting and post-Course follow-up Both Courses use a variety of approaches including small study groups, case-based discussion, small group discussion, short presentations, simulation and opportunities

If you’re interested in being part of the movement to advance value-based health and care, I highly recommend Swansea University’s Value- Based Health and Care Executive Education course. The programme uses the latest findings from academic research, along with real- world case studies to help facilitate ‘systems thinking’; to improve collective outcomes and enhance the patient experience, while reducing the overall cost of care.

Value-Based Health and Care is gaining ground at both regional, national and European level, and is bringing both challenges and opportunities for all actors in the health system. The life-science industry will be challenged to show that the products and services they offer bring true value for patients, health systems and society; but a value-based system will at the same time incentivise innovations that do create this value. Making a Value-Based system work requires new forms of partnerships built on trust and mutual understanding. This is why educational initiatives that brings the actors together in one conversation are so important, and I’m therefore very excited to be part of this programme.

THOMAS ALLVIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,

STRATEGY AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS EFPIA - EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES AND ASSOCIATIONS

Value-Based approaches bring the focus back firmly onto the person receiving care: what are their needs and expectations and how can we know if they have been met? It provokes new conversations that are empowering for citizens and new ways of thinking and working for the health, care and life-science sectors that will help them provide greater value and remain sustainable in the future. PROFESSOR HAMISH LAING DIRECTOR OF VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE ACADEMY

RESEARCH INTO VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE

Whilst the principles of VBHC are understood, there is an urgent need for research to inform the evolution of VBHC and how best it can be implemented in diverse health and care economies. Only through research and dissemination of knowledge underpinned by academic rigour can we know how best to define and measure the outcomes that matter to people as part of their routine care; what societal value really is; how to create shared value fairly through long-term partnerships with industry; how to evolve the VBHC model to span health and social care and across longitudinal care pathways; how Value-Based Health and Care supports delivery of Prudent Healthcare and its global equivalents. The VBHC Academy is working with health and care systems and life science industry partners to provide thought leadership as well as to investigate how to overcome these challenges of adoption and implementation. We are keen to work with other partners to accelerate understanding.

Our current research programme has FOUR themes:

REDUCING THE BURDEN OF OUTCOMES MEASUREMENT

COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER VALUE IN HEALTH AND CARE

DESIGN AND OPERATION OF OUTCOME-BASED AGREEMENTS FOR MEDICINES, DEVICES AND ATMP s

UNDERSTANDING AND MEASURING SOCIETAL VALUE

If you would like to explore with us how we can help your research, evaluation or collaboration needs please get in touch: vbhcacademy@swansea.ac.uk .

Alternatively, our Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) degree is an opportunity to conduct supervised academic research in an aspect of Value-Based Health and Care at doctoral level. More information about the DBA can be found here .

CONSULTANCY: FOR VALUE-BASED HEALTH AND CARE We know that implementing Value-Based principles in health and social care systems can be difficult and also that it represents a fundamental shift for the life-science industries and the systems they engage with across the world. Our education programmes and degrees will equip you with a good understanding of the principles and techniques required to adopt Value-Based Health and Care in your organisation, but we recognise that you may need additional support on that journey or help overcoming particular implementation challenges.

The Academy is available to help public and independent health and care organisations, integrated care systems and life science companies who are keen to adopt VBHC.
