Health Economics in Cancer Research: A consumer's guide

 The Cancer Research Economics Support Team (CREST) will be hosting this free face-to-face workshop at the University of Technology, Sydney for consumer/community representatives working with Cancer Cooperative Trials Groups (CTGs). 

The workshop will help consumer/community representatives gain an insight into how health economics fits with clinical trials and the role it plays in making healthcare available, in particular, pharmaceuticals and medical services. 

Workshop program 

The workshop will use a series of workshop-style seminars and exercises to provide theory and practical examples to cover: 

• fundamental health economic concepts;
• how health economics is used in the context of collecting and using clinical trial information; 
• how consumer data from within trials, clinical practice or surveys might be used in health economic analyses; 
• the processes of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) and the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC); and
• the role consumers play in providing data and shaping how evidence is viewed through the reimbursement process. 

Participants will receive course notes, including copies of the slides, references used as examples and additional useful readings. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.   

*** Registrations will close Monday,11 September at 2 pm. If you would like to register after this time, please contact us at crest@uts.edu.au ***
