Health Economics at Northumbria (HE@N) is a research group
that develops and applies rigorous economic and statistical methods to improve
health, wellbeing, and health and social care.
Our aims are to:
- Advance
research on the economics of health and social care to standards of
international excellence
- Develop
and apply economic techniques that improve care and population health and
wellbeing
- Provide
our partners with expertise in health economics
- Build
and sustain capacity in the economics of health
Our work is structured around five research themes: public
health economics and the wider determinants of health and wellbeing;
methodological innovations in health economics; economic evaluation across
traditional and non-traditional designs; econometrics and applied statistics;
and policy evaluation, resource allocation and systems research. Across these
themes we examine cost-effectiveness, efficiency, equity and return on
investment throughout the health and social care system.
HE@N holds a substantial portfolio of applied and
methodological research, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care
Research (NIHR), the research councils, charitable organisations and industry.
Our multidisciplinary work is undertaken with partners across health and social
care, local government, the VCFSE sector, and the policy and research
communities, spanning the North East and North Cumbria, the wider UK, and
internationally — including India, Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, the Netherlands,
Denmark and New Zealand. Through this work, the group contributes substantially
to the NHS, to local authorities, and to decision-making at national and local
levels.
