The second HERU seminar this month is given by Professor Rhiannon Tudor Edwards, Co-Director of the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines evaluation (CHEME), Bangor University, Wales.
Title: Return on investment, prevention, Marmite and more.
1 in 3 children in Wales live in poverty. At birth, there is an 18.9 year difference in healthy life expectancy between the least and most deprived areas of Wales. Health economics highlights the fact that decisions about resource use involve choices that are ultimately trade-offs in the use of public sector resources, trade-offs between different groups in society and trade-offs between different stages in the life course. There are efficiency and equity reasons for investing in early years. This seminar describes the “journey” of working with Public Health Wales, on an international evidence review report about the economic returns to investing in early years. The presentation compares working on reports and peer reviewed publications, funded by grant giving bodies such as research councils, with the experience of working with government. Given the importance of impact for universities facing REF 2020, the presentation explores our experience of dealing with graphic designers, translation units and media.
The seminar will take place in Room 1:029, Polwarth Building, Foresterhill from 1pm-2pm. A sandwich lunch will be provided from 12.30pm.
