This course is taken by students enrolled on the Post Graduate Certificate in Health Economics. It is concerned with practical issues in the design and conduct of economic evaluation. It covers the principles of the two most common approaches to economic evaluation – using individual patient data collected alongside randomised controlled trials, and using decision models to synthesis data from a number of secondary sources. The module highlights the strengths and limitations of each approach, and emphasises their complimentary nature.

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.
