Description:
The third conference on this topic will be held 5-7 September 2000 at the
University of Salford. Conference delegates will include those involved in
quantitative policy, evaluation and decision making in health care relating to
the National Health Service, private sector, and overseas experience.
The first conference in September 1994 attracted medical practitioners working in hospitals and general practice; health service managers; and operational research specialists, economists, statisticians and mathematicians employed in health care and universities. The conference will focus on practical methodologies in the provision and purchase of services. Previous conferences were held in 1994 and 1997. These attracted medical practitioners working in hospitals and general practice; health service managers; and operational research specialists, economists, statisticians, and mathematicians employed in health care and universities. A special issue of the Health Care Management Science Journal contained papers presented at the conference in 1997. The conference will focus on practical methodologies in budgeting, financing, setting of priorities, and allocation of resources for the provision of services, and the formulation and measurement of performance indicators. Papers covering experience with established methodologies and issues relating to their implementation are welcome together with those describing new methodologies. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, contributed papers and an exhibition of software.
Speakers: Sandy Macara (BMA), Peter Millard (St. Georges Hospital Medical School, London), Jonathan Rosenhead (LSE, London), Tom Treasure (St. Georges Hospital Medical School, London)
