We are excited to announce our new Advanced Methods of Economic Evaluation for Health Technology Assessment (AMEEHTA) workshop, which will be presented as an 8 week online course running from Monday 4th March to Friday 26th April 2024.
Workshop Leaders: Professor Laura Bojke, Professor Mark Sculpher and Professor Marta Soares
Decision-makers' demands for information on the cost-effectiveness of pharmaceuticals and other health technologies and interventions have become more extensive and sophisticated. Economic evaluation is also increasingly used internationally to support decisions in areas including public health and vaccines. To keep pace with these constantly changing developments, from Monday 4th March 2024 we launch our new 8 week online workshop on Advanced Methods for Economic Evaluation in Health Technology Assessment (AMEEHTA).
Our workshop faculty are all experienced health economists specialising in health technology assessment (HTA). They are associated with HTA organisations in the UK and internationally, and have worked with pharmaceutical and other life science companies, health systems and other governmental organisations, and been members of HTA decision making committees. These diverse backgrounds enhance the expert teaching, benefiting our course participants by also being able to share their experiences of different contexts and examples of their work.
This new workshop is intended to promote an understanding of recent developments in advanced methods for economic evaluation to inform HTA, with a focus on cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA):
The workshop is aimed at health technology assessment (HTA) analysts, managers and policymakers, wishing to understand the key challenges for economic evaluation to inform HTA. It offers insight into state-of-the-art analytical techniques and criteria for selecting appropriate methods, given the particular constraints and challenges of an application. The workshop is not intended to provide full acquisition of technical skills, given the large quantity of material it covers. Instead, it focuses on understanding the principles of more cutting edge methods used to inform cost-effectiveness models to support HTA. There are a number of practical exercises during the workshop designed to support an understanding of the methods covered, so we ask that you are proficient with using Microsoft Excel.
The workshop will comprise 7 advanced modules over 8 weeks, spanning model conceptualisation to cost-effectiveness analysis in policy making:
Module 1 – Model Planning, Conceptualisation & Structuring
(week 4th - 8th March)
Module 2 – Synthesising Evidence & Parameterising Economic Models
(week 11th - 15th March)
Module 3 – Using real world evidence (RWE)
(week 18th - 22nd March)
Module 4 – Evidence Extrapolation
(week 25th - 29th March)
Week 1st - 5th April has no scheduled activity but participants will still be able to access their online content
Module 5 – Uncertainty Analysis to Support Decision Making
(week 8th - 12th April)
Module 6 – CEA in Practice: Addressing Challenges
(week 15th - 19th April)
Module 7 – Policy Challenges in Economic Evaluation
(week 22nd - 26th April)
This online workshop will consist of:
Workshops materials (lecture slides, exercises, and model answers) will be available for you to access prior to the official start date of the workshop.
