Description
Many public sector bodies are under pressure to achieve efficiency and productivity savings in order to balance budgets. However, there is also an increased focus on public health spending to achieve long-term gains to health and reduced spending. As with all healthcare decisions, there are trade-offs and wider policy considerations that should be considered when deciding to allocate funding to new healthcare interventions or programmes.
This half-day training course will provide an understanding of the principles of modelling public health interventions. The course will also focus on some of the methods and techniques used to consider wider policy considerations in decision making, including health inequalities and environmental sustainability. Finally, we will cover what implementation science is and the value it has in optimising benefit of new healthcare interventions.
Topics that will be covered include:
- Modelling public health interventions. The challenges and solutions
- How do we account for health inequalities in decision making?
- How can we incorporate environmental sustainability into decision making?
- What is implementation science, and why is it important to optimise the benefit of new healthcare interventions?
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:
