Health Economics Course 2023
For a decade the EHC has been providing NMOs and a wider community with education on the evolution of health economics, tender process, and procurement in bleeding disorders.
From the first face-to-face meeting in London in 2013, health technology assessments (HTA) have become commonplace in national healthcare systems and bleeding disorders. The ability for an individual patient to input into horizon scanning, model inputs and design, procurement methods, and reporting is increasing with HTA agencies improving their engagement processes. The EHC aims to ensure access to education for patients and patient organisations on-demand for engaging in health technology assessments. As a result, the EHC has decided to create an online educational course on Health Economics in Europe. The program may also act as a quick reference guide for students, researchers, HTA agencies to begin to understand the issues related to bleeding disorders and how to evaluate them.
The program will be online, consisting of sequential webinars with additional interactive materials to improve personal and NMO knowledge. The most significant benefit of EHC Economics Workshops is the cross-fertilisation of discussion and ideas. The course would provide periodic in-person webinars with experts and two Q&A sessions with prominent experts to guide involvement in HTA at any level.
Register here till November 28, 2023. Please note that only registered users will have access to the full set of materials, including the homework, and will be able to access the Q&A sessions.

As a patient with factor II deficiency, the diagnostic and treatment of rare bleeding disorders is a matter dear to my heart. My motivation to participate in the work of the ERIN committee is to improve both diagnostic and treatment for patients with rare bleeding disorders across Europe.
