Want to assess the outcomes and sustainability of a new service?
Not sure where to start with an economic evaluation?
This hands-on, in-person workshop will empower you to address these challenges.

Who is the workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for staff from NHS Trusts, Local Authorities and CCGs who need to evaluate local programmes or services from an economic perspective as part of their work. It is not aimed at academics and/or researchers.
To be most beneficial for the participants, we invite applications from individuals who are carrying out or will soon need to carry out an economic evaluation of a service/intervention. In the selection process, we will give priority to applications providing a detailed description of such projects. Groups of people working on the same project are encouraged to apply.
No previous knowledge of economics is required (or experience of study design and statistics), however an interest in economics and being comfortable with numbers is advantageous.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion, which can be exchanged for CPD credits. Please direct any queries regarding CPD credit exchange to the relevant team within your organisation.
When is the next workshop?
The next workshop will take place in June 2025.
To best support our partners in the health and social care professional communities, we will offer free places to members of any organisation partnered with NIHR ARC North Thames. The cost for members of non-partner organisations is £150 (£180 inc. VAT).
