Help governments and healthcare organizations to spend their budgets wisely

So, how can I help?

You will help medical and policy decision makers answering questions like:

• How much should our society be willing to spend on a new pharmaceutical that gives 10% of the patients two or more months to live?
• Should costs, due to absence from work, be included in the cost estimates?
• What is an acceptable threshold for the costs per quality adjusted life year (QALY) for a very expensive orphan drug?
• How can a modelling approach support decisions in health care?
• What is the impact of European pharmaceutical legislation on the accessibility of drugs?
• What are the key concepts of pharmaceutical pricing and market access?

To answer questions about new pharmaceuticals or medical innovations, you need to evaluate the costs and benefits. We will train you to achieve the necessary skills to:

• evaluate costs and benefits in a systematic manner
• to measure quality of life and costs
• develop simulation models that allow estimation of the short- and long-term consequences of interventions as well as the uncertainty in these estimates

With this specialisation you will have the necessary skills to work both in the private and public sector.
