Growth and Reform Dialogue: The Devo Prescription - shaping healthy places

​Health is a fundamental precursor to economic participation and a critical priority for national and local growth.

​Many of the tools to address ill health lie outside health policy, and the deepening and widening devolution of powers to regional mayors offers new opportunities to address poor health through socioeconomic policies and programme delivery.

​In this Growth and Reform Dialogue, we will present a framework for healthy growth, developed in partnership with the Health Foundation, and drawing on 144 studies of real interventions from contexts comparable to the UK.

​As regional institutions are maturing and building their internal capacity, this session highlights a systematic approach to embedding health outcomes in economic development and growth strategies.

​We'll hear from members of the Network on their own successes - including Glasgow City Region - and examples from Europe, such as the Districts Approach that has driven place-based change in the Netherlands.

​Join us on Friday 12th December at 12 noon to be part of the Dialogue and connect with others delivering work in this space.

​The session is particularly relevant for those with an economic or social policy focused role, and those collaborating more broadly to drive health outcomes in their place.
