The report of the Masterclass is now available via the event website.
Also on the website are the presentations given by all the speakers, together with other resources including introductory videos of selected HTA topics, links to our MOOCs and Masters programmes. Details of further workshops planned as part of the UK-China Health and Economy Partnership will be available soon; these will involve the Universities of Leeds, York, Zheziang and Fudan.
The UK-China Health and Economy Partnership (UK-CHEP) promotes long-term collaboration between UK and Chinese universities by focusing on the economics of healthcare for the mutual benefit of the two countries. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) assisted in the development of the partnership and has provided funding to ensure its success.
Professor Sun Qiang, Professor of Health Economics at Shandong University, said:
“UK-China Partners have overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and have worked together to deliver this masterclass programme again to strengthen the development of health economics and evaluation in China. I believe this work will also contribute to the overall collaboration between UK and China universities.”
Professor Simon Dixon, Professor of Health Economics at the University of Sheffield, said:
“I am grateful that colleagues in the UK and China have come together to deliver an excellent masterclass programme at Shandong University and online. I am confident this will mark the start of lasting research and teaching collaborations. I also thank GSK for their contributions to the partnership.”
