Get Three for the Price of One: Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Multi-Outcome Interventions Hernando Grueso In the case of interventions with multiple outcomes, we show that this standard approach tends to underestimate the programme’s efficiency considering that total costs are assessed from a single-outcome perspective and not considering the full range of programme benefits. We propose a method to discount cost-effectiveness ratios (CER) based on multiple benefits, providing a more accurate assessment of interventions with multiple outcomes. Using RCT findings from a violence reduction programme in Liberia, we illustrate the advantages of this discounting approach. For example, a standard CER calculation indicates that $518.2 is the cost to improve in one standard deviation the economic performance z-score among those who received a cash transfer. However, this assessment does not report the simultaneous improvement of 0.3 standard deviations in identity and values, and 0.17 in quality of networks. Our discounting approach shows that $50.1 is the actual cost to improve in one standard deviation the economic performance z-score, once accounting for improvements in the other two outcomes. This example focuses on private benefits to participants so, lower costs are even expected if considering hard-to-measure positive externalities in crime and violence reduction. Accounting for multiple outcomes helps to identify synergies between government sectors, and to compare the efficiency of different interventions achieving similar results.

14th December 2023 | 15.00-16.15 with Q&A and drinks reception to follow | Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Seminar | A General Theory of Rehabilitation: it catalyses and assists adaptation to illness Professor Derick Wade, Oxford Brookes University This seminar answers the question that Professor Derick Wade first asked in 1980, What is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation has been without a theoretical basis since the word was first used in 1918. My theory can be summarised: Rehabilitation optimises a person’s adaptation to their illness.” I will outline the building blocks: adaptation to change is universal and constant; its purpose is to maintain an equilibrium between important factors; for a person, these factors can be related to Maslow’s five areas of need; humans have a central homeostatic mechanism that alters behaviour to achieve homeostasis; when the change is due to an illness, rehabilitation facilitates adaptation by catalysing many adaptive responses and, when needed, giving direct assistance. Derick Wade trained in medicine, qualifying in 1973. He worked in many specialist areas including neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and general practice before undertaking stroke research 1980-1986. He then became a consultant (later a professor) in neurological rehabilitation and has worked in rehabilitation since. He has undertaken many trials and has over 300 papers. Professor Wade is visiting from Oxford, and this is a fantastic opportunity to hear him in person. Places are limited so please register as soon as possible to guarantee your place.

15th November 2023 | 13.00-14.30 | PenARC Seminar series | Exploring Intergenerational Relationships Iona Lawrence, freelance strategist and campaigner In this talk, Iona Lawrence will share some of her observations and conclusions from her recent Churchill Fellowship which took her across Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands in search of intergenerational activists and change makers. This will be with a view to prompting a discussion about what action and policy change is needed next to weave the intergenerational connections a fairer and more equitable society needs. Iona is keen to offer support or advice to those wanting to work in the intergenerational research and connections space. If you would like to meet with Iona before her talk (in-person only), please get in touch with Becky Whear by no later than Wednesday 8th November. Iona Lawrence is a freelance strategist, campaigner and extra pair of hands for charities and nonprofits up and down the country. In 2016 Iona set up the Jo Cox Foundation in memory of her friend Jo Cox MP through which she campaigned to appoint the world's first Minister for Loneliness. In 2023 Iona completed her Churchill Fellowship. Travelling across Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, she spent two months meeting intergenerational activists and change makers to better understand what more can be done in the UK to boost and bolster intergenerational connections. Her findings offer a glimpse of an intergenerational future and a clear view of what is holding us back from getting there - you can read them here. Alongside her work on loneliness and social connection, Iona is Co-Founder of The Decelerator which supports nonprofit organisations and individuals to consider and design closures, mergers, CEO transitions, programming ends, and all sorts of endings as just part of the everyday life of organisations and inevitable cycles of change in civil society.

26th January 2021 | 1-3pm | Qualitative Research Forum | Qualitative Research Forum: an informal group for staff and students doing qualitative research The Qualitative Research Forum, based in the Institute for Health Research, for staff and students doing qualitative research in some capacity, was launched in September 2020, organised by Julia Frost, Jo Day, Cornelia Guell, Sarah Bell and Sarah Morgan-Trimmer. It will meet once every two months, alternately hosted by Exeter and Truro. Please note that these events are only open to members of staff and students at the University of Exeter. Visual Data Collection and Dissemination for Qualitative Research In the first half of this session, we will watch part of an online interview with Curie Scott about her phenomenographic approach in ageing research, followed by a discussion in breakout rooms. Sometimes available methods and methodologies are not adequate, and we need to adapt approaches to fit the study. Dr Curie Scott found herself in this situation, so she re-interpreted a phenomenographic methodology for her study about perceptions towards self-ageing. Curie incorporated the use of participant drawing: “having looked at the field of drawing, I was intrigued by investigating drawing as ‘intelligent practice’, a way for adults to think through issues that were hard to articulate in words alone". In the second half of the session we will be hearing from Dr Siobhan O’Dwyer (Senior Lecturer in Ageing and Family Care at the University of Exeter College of Medicine and Health). Her research focuses on crisis experiences in family carers, including suicide, homicide, and self-harm. This research is complex and potentially controversial, but traditional academic outputs often lack the sensitivity required to foster meaningful conversations and facilitate social or political change. In this meeting of the Qualitative Research Forum, Siobhan will talk about her adventures in the wonderful world of arts-based impact. She will share her own (and others') experiences of working with artists, poets, and playwrights, highlighting the opportunities and potential pitfalls. Please click on this link to register |

5th March 2020 | 11am-12pm | Seminar | Developing a framework for assessing the impact of test measurement uncertainty on clinical and health-economic outcomes Alison Smith Research Fellow, University of Leeds A multitude of factors can introduce errors into clinical test measurements, relating to how test samples are collected, stored and analysed. If, as a result, test values are incorrectly observed as lying outside key test decision thresholds then this uncertainty can affect the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of testing strategies. Currently, however, test measurement uncertainty is poorly understood within the test evaluation community and rarely considered within health technology assessments (HTAs). In this talk, Alison will present novel methods for assessing the impact of test measurement uncertainty on HTA outcomes, based on findings from a recent methodology review. An application of these methods will be illustrated using a case study of faecal calprotectin for the diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the UK primary care setting.

22nd January 2020 | 12.30-13.30 | Seminar | Financial problems and health inequalities in Europe: how does Italy compare? Dr. Margherita Giannoni Associate Professor Public and Health Economics at the University of Perugia, Italy The presentation looks at the role that people’s financial difficulties have on the determinants of self-reported health in Italy as compared with selected other European countries. The presentation will begin with an overview of the evolution of the Italian healthcare system and equity in health and access to healthcare in that country. Next, evidence from quantitative analysis conducted with colleagues will illustrate how being over indebted can influence people’s physical health. This includes a conceptual model that uses home ownership as a base to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of health, to test whether over-indebtedness and home ownership can be considered autonomous determinants of European individuals’ health. The research shows that being in a household that is in arrears with payments and at risk of becoming deeply in debt is a consistent and robust predictor of poor health outcomes, whereas home ownership positively affects individual self-reported health.

Joint APEX and Exeter Clinical Trials Unit Seminar | Dr Ben Darlow from the Department of primary Health Care and General Practice from the University of Otago, Wellingtpon, new Zealand will give a talk about lower back pain in general practice: Effective and cost-effective primary care treatments for low back pain are required to reduce the burden of the world’s most disabling condition. Ben will talk about the results from the Low Back Pain in General Practice randomised trial and implementation study, completed in 2018, which compared the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Fear Reduction Exercised Early (FREE) approach to low back pain (intervention) with usual general practitioner care (control). Ben completed his undergraduate physiotherapy degree at the University of Otago in 1998, and his Master of Sports Physiotherapy at Curtin University (Perth) in 2002. He completed his PhD at the University of Otago in 2014. His main research foci are the management of common musculoskeletal conditions in primary care and interprofessional education. Ben has explored clinician and patient attitudes and beliefs related to low back pain and osteoarthritis, resulting in several highly cited publications. He recently led the Low Back Pain in General Practice Study exploring the feasibility and impact of implementing a new approach to explaining and managing back pain in general practice. Ben has also led the development of the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ).

9th May 2019 | 1-2pm | Seminar | The impact of removing financial incentives. Dr Rachel Meacock Health Organisation, Policy and Economics, University of Manchester Pay-for-performance schemes link financial payments by purchasers to the quality of care supplied by healthcare providers. The use of financial incentives as a mechanism for quality improvement is now commonplace across health systems globally. Whilst the impact of introducing financial incentives has been studied extensively, little is known about the consequences of removing financial incentives once they are in place. The overall benefits of pay-for-performance programmes will depend upon whether any resulting quality improvements represent permanent or transitory improvements. We study incentive removal from the long-running UK Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), which links financial incentives to the quality of care provided by GPs in England. Doctors have claimed the scheme distorts clinical decision-making and induces them to provide care to patients that did not need it. Therefore, we expect to see care no longer provided to patients for whom indicators were unnecessary or inappropriate. We consider the implications of our findings for clinical decision-making, equity and the long-term success of pay-for-performance schemes.

Prognostic Models and Competing Risks Lucy TeeceResearch Associate (Biostatistics/Epidemiology), Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester Prognostic models are used in medical and health research to predict an individual’s future health outcomes, including risk of disease progression and the development of further complications. Communicating these risks enables clinicians to help a patient understand their own risks and to plan and manage a patient’s illness. The statistical methods used to develop these models are often naïve to the presence of competing events, these are events which may prevent or alter the probability of the outcome of interest from occurring. In this presentation, Lucy will introduce prognostic model research and the concept of competing risks, and explore the impact of competing risks on prognostic model research.

Joint ESMI/LKD Seminar |
Making evidence credible for public health policy Dr Kathryn Oliver Associate Professor in Sociology and Public Health London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Debates about the role of evidence in policymaking have tended to focus primarily on how to increase the influence of academic research evidence on policy. In health care in particular, this has tended to mean a focus on creating evidence synthesis (as the most robust and reliable form of evidence). But this approach to the role of knowledge in policy sidesteps the question of what types of knowledge are actually used and valued in policymaking, and how different forms of knowledge may interact with policy. Instead, we can ask - what do policymakers find useful and credible? Why? This question lets us explore the pathways to impact, and the different roles of evidence within policy and practice. In this seminar, Kathryn will explore the implications of these strengths and limitations of credible knowledge in policy practices, and place our conclusions within a discussion of current approaches to understanding the role of knowledge in policymaking. She will close with some reflections on the importance of transparent and reflexive policymaking and knowledge-generation practices, and the implications of this for public health. Please email penclahrc@exeter.ac.uk to register Please note that this seminar will be recorded. |

PERSEPHONE; 6 vs. 12 months of adjuvant trastuzumab in patients with HER2+ early breast cancer: A cost effectiveness analysis. This cost-effectiveness analysis was based on data from the PERSEPHONE trial, a phase III non-inferiority RCT comparing 6 to 12m Trastuzumab, the largest reduced-duration non-inferiority trial internationally. A landmark analysis 6 months into treatment was conducted, comparing costs and quality of life throughout follow-up (6m – 24m post treatment start). Multiple imputation was required to impute incomplete quality of life data. Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) were adjusted for differences at baseline. Uncertainty is estimated using the non-parametric bootstrap method. 4009 patients were disease free at 6m (6m: n=2000, 12m: n=2009) and therefore eligible for the analysis. The average costs for an individual in the 6m arm and 12 month arm were £2,538.64 (95% CI: £2,383.38 - £2700.72) and £12,333.83 (95% CI: £12,098.58 - £12,562.27), respectively, giving an average cost saving of £9,793.25 (95% CI: £9,515.86 - £10,071.64) per individual. Trastuzumab treatment and administration accounted for £9,699.58 (95% CI: £9,436.20 - £9.954.67) of this cost saving, the remaining arising from cardiac assessment and treatment costs and inpatient days. The average QALYs for an individual in the 6m arm and 12 month arm were 1.146 (95% CI: 1.131 – 1.161) and 1.128 (95% CI: 1.113 – 1.144), respectively, giving an average QALY difference of 0.018 (95% CI: -0.003 – 0.039). Thus, the 6m arm dominated with a probability of being cost effective of 100%. 6m of Trastuzumab was shown to be cost effective compared to 12m with cost-savings and no evidence of a detriment to quality of life.

27th November 2018 | 2-3.30pm | Qualitative research workshop | Following a successful meeting about qualitative research and the REF with Professor Catherine Pope (University of Southampton) in September, we are now organising a follow up workshop. All those doing qualitative research are invited to attend this workshop on Tuesday 27th November from 2 – 3.30 pm in South Cloisters room 3.06. We ask you to bring with you a piece of qualitative research you are working on and that you are proposing to publish. If you have a paper already drafted but not yet submitted, that is perfect. Alternatively, bring a paper that you have already published, or come with a project in mind that you are intending to write up for publication. In small groups we will work on writing and/or rewriting our abstracts so as to emphasise the originality, significance and rigour of our research (REF criteria), and discuss them with others. Please contact Christabel Owens on c.v.owens@exeter.ac.uk by Wednesday 21 November if you would like to attend this workshop, so that we can send you a brief document which explains what these 3 criteria mean, with examples from published qualitative research. |

Crafting Communities of Health: The Work of Hope in Aging Japan Unprecedented life expectancy and associated demographic changes in Japan have led to widespread anxieties about aging on several different scales: at the national level; in local communities; and on a deeply personal level. Communities and individuals are responding to the challenges of aging and of care in older age in various and often imaginative ways, crafting networks of support and strengthening social ties. In this paper I draw on ethnographic fieldwork in a community in Osaka, chosen for its high proportion of elderly, and describe some of its networks of support, focusing particularly on a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) which began as a mutual aid network (or tasukeai) inspired by the ideas of a well-known social activist. I focus on the activities of people involved in these networks of support, many of whom are themselves elderly or concerned about aging; in doing so I explore the broader social and organizational context within which hope arises, and move to explore the motivations of the people involved, outlining what I term an 'attitude of hope'. I argue that for those involved in community activities and support networks, hope is not a form of passive resignation but rather an active attitude and a form of citizenship.Iza Kavedžija is a Lecturer in Anthropology at the College of Social Sciences and International Studies, University of Exeter. As an anthropologist of Japan, she began her research on aging, care and wellbeing in 2007 at the University of Oxford. She conducted intensive ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Osaka in 2008-9 and again in 2013. Iza’s monograph, entitled ‘Making meaningful lives: Tales from aging Japan’, is forthcoming with the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Methodological Advances in Evidence Synthesis Orestis EfthimiouUniversity of Bern Network meta-analysis (NMA) is an extension of the usual (pairwise) meta-analysis. It is a statistical tool for synthesizing evidence obtained from studies comparing multiple competing interventions for the same disease. In this lecture, we will go through some recent advances in the field. First, we will discuss a new model for the NMA of binary outcomes. This model generalizes the well-known Mantel-Haenszel method, and can be especially valuable for the case of rare events, e.g. when synthesising data on mortality or serious adverse events. The method has been implemented in R in freely available, easy-to-use routines. Second, we will discuss models for including non-randomized studies in NMA. Non-randomized studies can reveal whether or not interventions are effective in real-life clinical practice and there is a growing interest in including such evidence in the decision-making process. Here we present and compare an array of alternative methods, and we apply some of the methods in previously published clinical examples. Finally, we will discuss methods for individual participant data network meta-analysis (IPD-NMA). IPD are considered the gold standard in evidence synthesis, and inclusion of IPD in NMA offers unique advantages, such as increase in precision, decrease in heterogeneity, as well as the capacity to individualize the treatment according to a patients characteristics. We showcase our methods using an example from depression.

The Triple Helix framework is used to assess whether knowledge brokering can be used to promote innovation in generating evidence, looking at what has been needed to (a) create a Knowledge Space; (b) foster an Innovation Space, where evaluation methods are now being used to establish 'proof of concept'; and (c) create a Consensus Space where local government, NHS, the VCF sector and academics can agree on what’s valued. Janet Harris is a Reader in Knowledge Mobilisation at the School of Health & Related Research (ScHARR) in the University of Sheffield. She previously worked in Boston, USA, on cross-sectoral community-based approaches to developing and evaluating large public health programmes and subsequently returned to England to complete a PhD in Public Health based on community-based participatory research.

5th July 2018 | 12.30pm | APEx Barbara Starfield Lecture | 4th Barbara Starfield Annual Lecture Professor Jeannie Haggerty PhD McGill Chair in Family and Community Medicine Research, McGill University, Montreal Canada Continuity of care and the new normal of multimorbidity in primary care - appreciating and extending Barbara Starfield’s notion of longitudinal person-focused care Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/apex-starfield-lecture-professor-jeannie-haggerty-tickets-43968325445 A sandwich lunch will be available following the lecture for people who have registered their attendance From Professor Haggerty ….. Professor Barbara Starfield was a distinguished academic and health services researcher whose vision for Primary Care and General Practice centred health services was instrumental in providing solid theoretical foundations and the evidence for the provision of effective and cost effective health services. Barbara Starfield proposed that while continuity of care is an attribute of good healthcare, it is uniquely expressed and valued in primary care as person-focused care over time, or longitudinality. So continuity in primary care has become virtually synonymous with establishing a therapeutic relationship with the patient and is often indicated by the extent to which a patient concentrates care in their GP. However, as it has become the norm for older adults to have two or more chronic conditions, so being seen by multiple clinicians and having multiple treatment plans has also become the norm. Her talk will summarise research on what patients say about the challenge of managing multiple providers and present why and how we need to expand the notion of continuity of care to include other clinicians, while underlying the value of person-focused care over time. Professor Jeannie Haggerty’s domain of research is the measure of patient experience of patient-centred healthcare and measurement of access and continuity, and how these measures relate to changes in organizational and professional practices. Jeannie has authored over 100 key papers in Health Services Research. She authored one of the seminal papers on the interdisciplinary concept of continuity of care that has been cited over 1000 times, and has informed policies through her health services research in the field of primary care. |

Don’t take it personally: careful causal analysis of claims for personalised medicine is long overdue Prof Stephen SennProfessor of Statistics From former prime-ministers to captains of industry, all are convinced of the great potential for personalising the treatments of patients based on more and more measurement. A premise of the argument is the evident variation of ‘response’ in clinical trials. I claim we know much less about true causal variation than we think we do and that there is a surprising culprit for our misunderstanding: the evidence based medicine movement and its obsession with numbers needed to treat. I consider what we need to do to understand variation better and what the implications are for public health. Prof Senn has recently retired but has had a distinguished academic career as Professor of Statistics at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (2011-2018) the University of Glasgow (2003-2011) and University College London (1995-2003). In addition to working as an academic he has also worked for the pharmaceutical industry in Switzerland and the National Health Service in England. He is the author of three books, Cross-over Trials in Clinical Research (1993 & 2002), Statistical Issues in Drug Development (1997, 2007) and Dicing with Death (2003). His expertise is in statistical methods for drug development and statistical inference. Please email Leala Watson if you require further information: l.k.watson@exeter.ac.uk |

16th May 2018 | 3-5pm | Author workshop | How to Write a Great Research Paper, and Get it Accepted by a Good Journal Anthony Newman, Senior Publisher, Life Sciences Department, Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Background: Knowing the best way of structuring your paper when writing it, and the most appropriate journal to send it to, really helps in getting your paper accepted. Also understanding how editors and publishers think and what they expect, and knowing how the peer review process works, is invaluable insight into the publishing process. Results: After attending this free 2 to 2.5 hour workshop, one in the Elsevier Publishing Connect Workshop series, participants will have a clear idea of the steps needed to be taken before starting to write a paper. They will also be able to plan writing manuscripts using the logical step sequence – not the sequence in which the paper will be read. Authors are also made aware of what aspects of their papers Editors, Reviewers, and Publishers look at critically, and to ensure that in taking care of these areas, their papers are much more likely to be accepted. Dealing with referees’ comments and the art of polite rebuttal are also described such that these can be used to improve the submitted paper suitably. Sensitive areas such as publishing ethics, plagiarism, duplicate publishing, etc are also clearly explained such that participants have a clear understanding of what their responsibilities are, what is allowed, and what is not permitted. Conclusions: These insights into the publishing process will enable the participants to be more confident as an author in the world of science publishing, and so should help them get their papers published more easily. Information about the speaker: Anthony Newman, who is making the presentation today, is a Senior Publisher with Elsevier, and is based in Amsterdam. Currently responsible for sixteen laboratory medicine and biochemistry journals, he joined Elsevier 30 years ago and has been Publisher for the last 19 years. Before then he was the marketing communications manager for the biochemistry journals of Elsevier. By training he is a polymer chemist and was active in industry before leaving London and moving to Amsterdam in 1987 to join Elsevier. |

EQ5D: 3L, 5L what the L? Professor Allan WailooUniversity of Sheffield EQ-5D is the most widely used measure of health-related quality of life for economic evaluation. It is NICE’s preferred measure. To date this has been the 3-level version (3L), but a newer 5-level version (5L) has been produced by the EuroQoL group. 5L was intended to retain many of the features of 3L but be more sensitive. However, there are differences between the two versions in terms of both the descriptive system and the valuations for health states. These differences raise difficult issues for decision makers seeking consistency. This talk will discuss work that has been done by a team in Sheffield looking at differences between 3L and 5L. It will show how one can estimate 3L from 5L, and vice versa, using either patient level data or summary statistics. It will then show the expected outcome of moving from 3L to 5L in a series of trial based cost-effectiveness studies, and a sample of NICE Technology Appraisals. The differences are substantial. Finally, the talk will outline ongoing work being undertaken for NICE and DH that will help determine whether and how to use 5L in future economic evaluations.

The good the bad and the ugly – what we really do when we identify the best and the worst organisations? Dr Gary AbelPrimary Care, University of Exeter Medical School Performance and quality indicators are in widespread use in the health arena and beyond. They are used in such diverse applications as pay for performance for general practices, safety monitoring of hospitals and individual surgeons, and for examining geographic inequalities in public health issues. In the vast majority of cases these indicators are constructed by aggregating individual patient data and as such are based on finite samples. These finite samples result in chance influencing individual indicator values. Sometimes this chance is recognised and sometimes it is not. It is often assumed that using funnel plots, or calculating z-scores (with or without accounting for overdispersion) allows chance variation to be accounted for and are thus robust methods for identification of good and poor performance. I will examine three commonly used methods for identification of the best and worst performing organisations using simulation. These simulations show that, if a funnel plot is needed to represent the data, the data are not generally suitable for use as a quality indicator and will result in a high degree of misclassification whichever method is used.

Increasing value and reducing waste in implementation research Jeremy Grimshaw, Ottowa Hospital Research Institute Implementation research is the scientific study of the determinants, processes and outcomes of implementation.Whilst there is an increasing body of implementation research, we are not advancing knowledge as efficiently as we could. There is considerable waste in implementation research (as in all other areas of health research) particularly due to failures to ask the right research questions, failures to use current available evidence when planning future research and failures to maximise the informativeness of syntheses of implementation programs. The seminar will discuss these issues and offer suggestions to enhance value and reduce waste. |

Seeing the forest and the trees – getting more value out of systematic reviews of complex interventions Jeremy Grimshaw, Ottowa Hospital Research Institute Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of complex interventions raise conceptual and methodological challenges that traditional systematic review and meta -analysis approaches fail to address.We have undertaken a series of systematic reviews of diabetes quality improvement interventions (published in JAMA 2006 (50 trials), Lancet 2012 (142 trials), Cochrane Library in preparation (278 trials)). To enhance the value of the systematic review, we have explored procedural (contacting authors) and statistical (Bayesian hierarchical multivariate analyses) innovations to extract more information for decision makers planning diabetes quality improvement activities. We are also converting the current update into a living (complex) systematic review to maintain a current systematic review for decision makers. |

12.30-1.30pm | Subjective wellbeing in economics and health policy Professor Bernard van den Berg, Professor of Health Economics, University of Groningen Conceptualizing and measuring subjective wellbeing has become part of mainstream economics over the last decade or so. Policy makers worldwide seem to encourage the refinement of measures of subjective wellbeing to measure national progress. The UK Cabinet Office asked the Office for National Statistics in 2010 to measure wellbeing or quality of life. This posed challenges for health policy which heavily relies on the measurement of health-related quality of life. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on public health for instance, mentions the possibility that wellbeing could complement existing measures of health-related quality of life. The NICE guidance on social care seems to suggest the possibility of going beyond health and to use wellbeing as the main outcome measure for cost-effectiveness analyses in a social care setting. This presentation provides an introduction to the economic and health economic literature on subjective wellbeing. It uses case studies to illustrate the main empirical findings of the health economic literature. I also aim to explore and discuss how subjective wellbeing could potentially improve health policy.

This is an opportunity for those considering to submit grants in Health Research (NIHR primarily, but also other relevant funders in the applied Health Research area) in the next few months to pitch an early stage grant idea to a group of academics from the NIHR Strategy Group who will be able to provide you with early feedback on your proposal and provide guidance for developing it further. The format for each of the sessions will be a 5-10 min presentation from yourself on your project which would typically be 3-4 slides followed by 10 mins feedback. The time slots will be strict (15-20 min in total) in order to fit everyone in. It would be great if you could come to the whole session (rather than just your own) in order to support and provide feedback to other colleagues presenting if possible. If you are interested in pitching and idea, please can you let Charlotte Murphy (c.j.murphy@ex.ac.uk) know before the 28th June and we will put together a schedule accordingly. |

Physician scheduling in hospitals. From theory to practice using decision support tools Abstract: In order to cope with steadily increasing healthcare costs, hospitals try to schedule their staff (e.g. physicians, nurses, logistics assistants, etc.) efficiently and effectively. We consider practical and theoretical physician scheduling problems at large teaching hospitals in Germany. In particular, we model the problem of duty-and workstation assignments and show appropriate methodologies to find solutions. The problems are constraint by union contracts as well as individual agreements between the hospital and the employees. To promote for job satisfaction, we take into account fairness and preference considerations. Regarding the practical side of physician scheduling, we present the status of the software development which is in use since 2015. Finally, we discuss lessons learned from the project and highlight some barriers when it comes to real implementation of decision support systems in practice. Bio: Jens Brunner has been permanently appointed as Professor of Health Care Operations & Health Information Management at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Augsburg (Germany) in March 2013.Since July 2016 he is co-director of the University Centerfor Health Care at KlinikumAugsburg (UNIKA-T).

Issues to consider when moving from development to pilot testing in complex interventions: an example of a nurse-led clinic for individuals with Heart Failure in Switzerland Dr Petra Schafer-Keller, Nurse Researcher; Lecturer, For research into complex interventions, when to move from the development and modelling phases to testing and evaluation is a matter of uncertain judgement. Schafer-Keller and colleagues have a programme to develop, test, evaluate and ultimately implement a nurse-led clinic for individuals with heart failure in Switzerland. They will outline the mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, and the results of their intervention development stage aimed at uncovering both healthcare professionals’ perceived challenges in delivering heart failure care, and the needs and existing self-care abilities of individuals with heart failure. As this phase comes to an end, they will discuss how to translate such findings into an evidence-informed complex intervention ready for the next stage of pilot testing. In this seminar, Petra will present the preliminary modelling of this complex intervention using a six stage intervention mapping process and will discuss selected stages in detail. Audience participation will be encouraged during the seminar in order to consider incorporating elements evolving from seminar discussions into the modelling process. |

Modelling of pharmaceuticals licensed without RCT data Anthony Hatswell – Principal Consultant (HTA Methodology), BresMed Health Solutions LTD Pharmaceuticals are most commonly licensed in randomised controlled trials against placebo or active comparators. On occasion however, drugs are approved without a comparative trial being available. This talk will discuss the circumstances and ethics around such approvals, and present work on the number of treatments licensed over the past 15 years under such circumstances, and how their comparative efficacy has been modelled. Following this, there will be a discussion of other techniques that can be used and ongoing work to estimate efficacy based on historical controls and other methods, including propensity scoring, matching adjusted indirect comparisons, and novel techniques. Anthony Hatswell is a Principal Consultant at BresMed where he works as a health economist on NICE submissions, evidence generation, and quality of life analysis. His PhD is part time as a mature student on the estimation of comparative effectiveness from uncontrolled clinical studies.

Health economics in local government settings: a focus on childhood obesity Dr Emma Frew One key public health priority it to tackle the alarming levels of childhood obesity. Children who are overweight have an increased risk of disease, have lower quality of life and an increased risk of adult obesity causing a huge societal burden over the life course. This seminar will focus on how health economics can contribute to childhood obesity interventions within a LA setting. Consideration will be given to the organizational, political, and financial context, and the need for LA’s to align priorities to improve population health and wellbeing, whilst reducing inequalities. It will discuss how the ‘traditional’ methods of economic evaluation fit within that context and provide insight into how the economist can contribute to decision making within this setting. It will use case-studies from Birmingham LA to present novel, innovative ways of changing the obesogenic environment and discuss how economics can be used to evaluate these approaches. |

Age UK’s Index of Wellbeing in Later Life Professor James Goodwin, Chief Scientist, Age UKProfessor Jose Iparraguirre, Chief Economist, Age UK We will present the theoretical and practical background underlying Age UK’s interest in the well-being of older people. We shall then describe the research processes and findings of a project carried out at Age UK which produced the first composite index of wellbeing in later life for the UK. Based upon a framework informed by the academic literature and a deliberative qualitative exercise with older people, we applied a number of statistical techniques (factor analysis, structural equation modelling, and principal component analysis) on data from the Understanding Society survey to estimate individual wellbeing scores out of over 130 different indicators. Finally, the application and usefulness of our research outcome will be described. Age UK Research |

1st December 2016 | 12-1pm | Learning, Knowing, Doing seminar series | New technologies for patient safety: unpacking the black box of implementation challenges and opportunities Dr Nicola Mackintosh - Kings College London New technologies offer significant novelty and visibility, as well as the transformational potential to impact on service delivery, patient outcome and experience. However, ‘the promise’ of these often fails to deliver in practice due to a number of implementation challenges. In this seminar I will draw on ethnographic data from two studies (a critical care telemedicine model and an electronic early warning system) to demonstrate the complex constellations of political, organisational and professional factors which shape the adoption and implementation of safety technologies. Implementation themes such as distinguishing project drift from innovation, and capturing ‘normalisation work’ and process evaluation / implementation measures will be discussed. Underpinning socio-cultural influences such as the contested nature of evidence, and representations of clinical work and ‘care’ will also be explored to highlight the opportunities and tensions presented by implementation of new technologies.

29th June 2016 | 12.30-1.30pm | Realist Hive |
What is real about operational research? With Sean Manzi As someone who is relatively new to the world of operational research I was confused by the lesser consideration of what underpins the discipline than some other disciplines. Some might say “Well it is the scientific method of course” and in a loose question-avoiding way that is right, but my response would be “Which scientific method?”. In this Realist Hive session I will first briefly introduce the discipline of operational research. I will ask some difficult questions of the way operational research considers how it conducts research and why it is done that way. I will open the discussion out to everyone to ask ‘Is operational research a good example of the realist philosophy of science in action?’ We will likely need to go beyond this question to examine ‘Why should we consider philosophies of science at all? Do we need them?’ and ‘How do we decide just which philosophy should underpin our research?’. Operational research, due to its lack of strong philosophical underpinning makes a good space to examine these fundamental questions of research. My hope is that this will be a provocative discussion which enables people to reflect on their own practices and beliefs. No prior understanding of operational research or realism is required to attend this talk! In fact I implore you to attend especially if you do not know much about these topics and even more so if you take issue with any of the questions proposed above.

The Evaluation of Medical Tests - from results to consequences Professor Patrick Bossuyt Health care professionals rely on medical tests to support diagnostic judgment and clinical decision making. Like all other interventions, these medical tests should be properly evaluated before they are introduced into clinical practice. Overall, the evaluation of medical tests is changing, from an exclusive attention on the “trueness” of test results to a more global appraisal of the consequences of testing itself.

Dr Taylor has been lead statistician on many randomised controlled trials both academic and commercial mainly in the areas of children and older adults. However, he has two main areas of research interest. The first brings together his knowledge of research ethics and research design methodology and is the ethics of designs such as cluster randomised trials, stepped wedge and open label extension studies. The second is his interest in the health of the NHS workforce investigating issues as varied as ‘what happens when doctors are patients?’ to ‘Why do GPs leave general practice early?’ For further information please contact R.Taylor@exeter.ac.uk |

13th January 2016 | 12.30-1.30pm | Learning, Knowing, Doing seminar series | Patterns of GP prescribing behaviour: Insights into GPs’ adoption of innovations Professor Philip Stern, University of Exeter Business School Since the landmark paper in Sociometry by Colman, Katz and Menzel in 1957, researchers have utilised concepts based upon social networks and social integration to explain the diffusion of medical innovations. This research revisits these efforts as well as a footnote in the original work which indicated that prescription frequency was more important than social integration in the speed of adoption. We present evidence from the launch of 36 new pharmaceuticals in the UK. Philip has been researching GP prescribing behaviour since 1990 and his doctorate applied stochastic modelling to GP prescribing. He holds a visiting Professorship at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute at the University of South Australia.
