Research activities in Health Economics at WMS

Interdisciplinary research

Health economists form a vital part of many research teams within the Warwick Medical School, the University of Warwick, other universities in the UK and in international collaborations. The economic information ultimately enables policy makers to decide on the cost-effectiveness of treatements.

High quality research

Health Economists at Warwick Medical School produce high quality research outputs and develop new methodologies. We can only showcase a very limited selection of the projects our researchers are working on. You can find a complete list of our projects here.

PARAMEDIC-2

The PARAMEDIC2 trial is looking at whether adrenaline is helpful or harmful in the treatment of a cardiac arrest that occurs outside a hospital.

Answering this question will help to improve the treatment of people who have a cardiac arrest.

MEMVIE

Mathematical & Economic Modelling for Vaccination and Immunisation Evaluation (MEMVIE)

This project investigates whether any change in the immunization programme is cost-effective; that is, whether the value placed on health benefits or improvements in social welfare that ensue are less than the incremental cost associated with the change in programme.
