An Introduction to Public Health Economics, Health Inequalities, Implementation Science and Environmental Sustainability
Description
This training course has already run for 2026. Dates for 2027 will be out at the end of the year.
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 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 in wider policy considerations, 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:
- What are the challenges and solutions to modelling public health interventions?
- 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?
