Faculty webinar - What health economists do with Professor Dyfrig Hughes

This session, which was hosted by Professor Dyfrig Hughes, introduces the frameworks for economic evaluation and the methods used by health economists to generate cost-effectiveness evidence to support decisions in the NHS. It provides a basic introduction to how we measure costs, health outcomes, and patient preferences - to further your understanding of how health economics could be integrated into your research.

Using case studies from areas, such as diagnostics for infections and treatment for epilepsy, Dyfrig shares practical examples of how cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis, and stated preference discrete choice experiments can be used to produce health economic evidence and enhance your research.
