In this episode, Sarah interviews Nicola Lynch, a Level Three Advanced Practitioner in Social Value.
Nicola is a Social Impact and Evaluation specialist and is one of only a handful of accredited Social Value & SROI trainers in the UK.
We’re going to take you on a journey that will really make you think about your own understanding of social value, how we measure social value, and the implications that has. We’ll cover the difference between inputs, outputs, outcomes, impact, and value.
Nicola will explain the theory of change and how that differs from a logic model, and we’ll also dive a little bit into digital tools, how they work, and the most important thing to remember when using them.

Listen in as we dive into sustainable healthcare with Rachel Stancliffe, CEO of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. With a significant portion of healthcare’s carbon footprint stemming from within the procurement chain, Rachel guides us through the comprehensive strategies and training the Centre delivers to minimise and eradicate waste. Prioritising preventive measures, patient-centric care, efficient pathways, and low-carbon interventions are a key focus.
The Centre aims to inspire and empower healthcare professionals to embrace sustainable practices, leveraging education, collaboration, and community involvement, ultimately advancing a culture of sustainability throughout the healthcare sector.
Sustainable healthcare emphasizes the balance between caring for the planet, the well-being of individuals, and financial responsibility. It seeks to ensure healthcare practices are environmentally and socially responsible. To address the healthcare sector's carbon footprint, emphasis is placed on prevention, patient-centered care, lean pathways, and low carbon interventions. High-impact areas include pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, buildings, travel, and procurement. The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare runs programmes engaging specialties like kidney care, to understand and reduce carbon footprints. They also offer training, including board-level sessions, empowering leaders and the broader workforce alongside other programmes.
