The Value in Health Economics and Policy group is constantly looking for ways to promote the work of our members. One of the key ways we do this is by hosting and organising events with themes related to health economics and health policy. Through ongoing collaborations with our international partners we continue to produce seminars, presentations and webinar series that have a broad appeal for our members and external guests. More details on upcoming and past events can be found below:
