This course will use examples from the literature to demonstrate the actual application of economic evaluation in practice. Consideration will be given to methodological aspects of economic evaluation based on the analysis of patient level data alongside randomised controlled trials, and decision modelling exercises informed by systematic reviews. Policy applications of economic evaluation (including the use of economic evidence by NICE) will also be reviewed.

The aims of the course are to:
1) consider how to identify and extract appropriate data for use in an economic evaluation
2) introduce the approaches to economic evaluation based on the analysis of individual patient data from randomised controlled trials, and decision modelling using data from systematic reviews
3) understand how these approaches can be used to provide estimates of efficiency. By the end of the module students should be aware of how to determine what data are required for an economic evaluation and how to obtain it, and able to consider how the optimal methods for the conduct of an economic evaluation could be chosen.
