Join us for our first SIMNA webinar of 2022! Come along and listen to our panellists Rachel Scott, Maxine Morrison and Sarah Judd-Lam discuss some of the highlights and challenges of measuring social impact in a health services context. 

At the end of the webinar, the Zoom room will remain open for networking and further discussion.

Measuring social outcomes is a vital part of the 'what has changed?' narrative in most 'for purpose' organisations. But how does this compare to the experience of measuring outcomes in health services? 

This topic will be explored with our panellists, who will share how measuring social outcomes is opening up the conversation around data collection and 'research' and is demonstrating the difference their work is having on the lives of patients and service users.
