Online workshops materials (including video-recorded lectures, exercises, and model answers/video-recorded exercise run-throughs) will be live and available to participants to access prior to the official start date of each workshop (see dates tables above). Participants are expected to have previously viewed the topic lectures and attempted the exercises before the live Q&A session relating to that topic takes place.

Decision-makers' demands for information on the cost-effectiveness of health technologies and other interventions have become more extensive and sophisticated. At least seven European countries and several managed care groups in the USA now require formal submissions of economic data as part of their reimbursement processes for medicines.
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, the York Online Workshops programme is regularly updated to ensure we deliver the most up-to-date health economic evaluation training to participants, who are affiliated with diverse national and international private and public sector organisations from around the world, and who work in academia, pharmaceutical and medical device companies, consultancy, health systems, government and HTA organisations. These diverse backgrounds enhance the expert teaching, benefiting our participants by also being able to share their own contexts with each other.
The Online Foundations and Advanced Workshops mirror the face-to-face versions of the York Summer Workshops which CHE held for over 25 years. Consistently extremely popular and in demand, our Workshops are aimed at those initiating, undertaking, managing or interpreting economic evaluations of medicines and other interventions.
(REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS WORKSHOP)
The online 'Foundations' Workshop includes comprehensive coverage of all key issues in the methods and practice of economic evaluation. It is designed for those, new to the field, wishing to appreciate and appraise studies done by others, or requiring a foundation for more advanced study. It includes discussion of the main design features of studies, such as costing methods, health state preference valuation, integrating economic analysis with clinical trials and modelling approaches. Also, given the increasing demands for studies by health care decision makers, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK, there is in-depth discussion of official requirements and the perspectives of decision makers. The wide range of countries and work backgrounds represented among the participants provides an opportunity to learn from a wide range of experiences.
The lectures are given by Professors Michael Drummond, Andrea Manca and Mark Sculpher. In addition, there are a number of practical exercises, which provide the opportunity to learn by ‘doing’, and ample time for questions and discussion. There are also a series of recorded interviews with leaders of health technology assessment organisations internationally.
During the workshop, participants will develop these foundation skills in economic evaluation:
The lecturers on the workshop will include:
The Faculty come from the Team for Economic Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment at the Centre for Health Economics, University of York.
The video-recorded lectures, exercises and model answers or video-recorded exercise run-throughs will be sent to participants a few days before the start of the course.
Participants will be expected to have previously watched the lectures and attempted the exercises before the live Q&A session they relate to takes place. These are scheduled below.

(REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS WORKSHOP)
The Online Advanced Workshop deals with advanced methods in economic evaluation in health care. It is structured around the analytical steps required to develop economic analyses to inform decision makers such as reimbursement agencies, hospital managers and formulary committees. Although many examples relate to medical technologies (eg, drugs, devices), the principles extend to other types of intervention like public health. Recent developments in the field are covered, including those relating to evidence synthesis, uncertainty and value of information analysis.
During the workshop, participants will develop skills pertinent to all key elements of economic evaluation:
In order to get the most out of the Advanced Workshop, participants should be familiar with Drummond et al. Methods for the Economic Evaluation of Health Care Programmes, Oxford: OUP, 4th Edition, 2015, and ensure they are familiar with the main functions of Excel(R).
The Faculty and tutors come from the Team for Economic Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment at the Centre for Health Economics, University of York.
The video-recorded lectures, exercises and model answers or video-recorded exercise run-throughs will be sent to participants a few days before the start of the workshop.
Participants will be expected to have previously watched the lectures and attempted the exercises before the live Q&A session they relate to takes place. These are scheduled below.
