Description

In this comprehensive course, you will explore the complex world of healthcare decision-making through the lens of economic theory and technological evaluation. By examining how financial principles intersect with innovation, you will develop a strong grasp of the mechanisms that shape healthcare policy and the appraisal of medical interventions.

The curriculum covers a wide range of key areas, from core economic models to methods for evaluating the impact and value of new health solutions. You will analyse the costs and benefits of various interventions, using real-world case studies to sharpen your ability to assess outcomes and make informed recommendations.

Beyond foundational theory, the course highlights the interplay between funding decisions and technological adoption. You will investigate how these evaluations support policymakers in allocating scarce resources effectively. The programme also examines the structure of insurance systems and their influence on care delivery and sustainability.

By the end, you'll be well-versed in the economic reasoning behind healthcare priorities and equipped to support data-driven, policy-relevant decisions in any health system context.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
