Description
As the demand for health and care services grows and finances become more constrained, there is an increasing need for economic evaluation in the public sector. NHS, social care and public health organisations are expected to be able to economically justify any changes in care pathways and they should consider not only the cost-effectiveness but also the affordability of new initiatives
This half day training course will provide an overview of health economics within the context of the NHS. The session will provide an overview of how the NHS and integrated care systems (ICSs) operate and how health economics can be used to develop business cases in this context.
Topics that will be covered include:
- Structures of the NHS and social care and the implications this can have for decision making
- How funding moves around the NHS
- How decisions are made in the NHS – cost-effectiveness, affordability, and return on investment
- Generating a business case
Who should attend?
The course would be of benefit to those working in the NHS and public sector, people involved with or implementing public health interventions, or people who would like a greater understanding of different components of decision making.
This course can be taken independently, or will be complimentary to 3 other courses:
