A Place for Prevention
Event summary
As the peak of COVID-19 passes and lockdown begins to be lifted, albeit at different rates across the UK, many are reflecting on how well prepared we were and asking what more could have been done to lessen the impact of the virus. A place-based approach to addressing health and social care could be the answer. Understanding the unique issues that local communities are facing is the key to finding solutions that will stand the test of time. In order to prepare for the future and ensure the health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable, places must be at the heart of decision making. We hear the term ‘place-based’ quite frequently, but what does it really mean in practice? How can we factor this into the prevention agenda? Join us for a webinar where we discuss the importance of local communities as the guiding force for reform, and the need to focus on prevention as an investment in the future.

Speaker - Dr Eleanor Roy, Health and Social Care Policy Manager, CIPFA
Eleanor started her career in academia, completing a PhD and postdoctoral research in immunology and microbiology. In 2007, seeking a new challenge she joined the Welsh Parliament (then the National Assembly for Wales), applying her scientific rigour to the scrutiny of public finance and the evidence-base behind all aspects of government finance policy.
In 2014, she joined CIPFA on secondment as research consultant, focusing on public finance policy across the devolved nations, in the run up to the Scottish independence referendum. On returning to the Welsh Parliament she focused on constitutional change, primarily related to the devolution of finance and taxation powers.
Given her biomedical background, Eleanor has maintained an interest in health and care, and in 2018, she returned to CIFPA to finally combine this with her experience of public finance policy, taking on the role of Health and Social Care Policy Manager. She leads on CIPFA’s policy work in this area, with particular interest in investment in prevention, social care funding reform and integration of health and care.
