The School of Health & Wellbeing bridges medical and social sciences, providing students with exceptional interdisciplinary training in a dynamic setting. Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) encompasses diverse evaluations of healthcare interventions, including policies, procedures, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic tools. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) involves analyzing evidence regarding the impacts of healthcare technologies. Our research informs critical decisions about prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation approaches.
