Brunel Annual Health Economics and Policy Forum

Hosted by Brunel Business School's Healthcare and Wellbeing Management Area of Excellence, under the leadership of Prof Francesco Moscone this event provides a platform for meaningful knowledge exchange to inform and lead developments in the healthcare sector.

The healthcare sector dedicates substantial resources to addressing prevalent high-risk behaviours, from smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to sedentary lifestyles and digital addiction. Yet, envisioning a paradigm shift towards healthier habits presents a compelling vision for the future of healthcare.

The Brunel First Annual Health Economics and Policy Forum serves as a pivotal platform for leading experts and policymakers to engage in substantive discourse, exploring innovative strategies to optimise resource allocation and address critical health needs, particularly in the context of transitioning to reduced-risk products.

Prepare to engage with an array of pertinent topics, including:

Delve into the nuanced economic implications of transitioning towards safer alternatives, examining potential ramifications for both healthcare expenditures and societal well-being.

Explore the development of robust policy frameworks aimed at promoting public health initiatives while mitigating the harmful effects of high-risk behaviours.

Amidst a backdrop of perpetual change, delve into strategies for enhancing the resilience and adaptability of healthcare systems to meet evolving challenges.

Engage in dialogue surrounding innovative solutions to mitigate health disparities, ensuring equitable access to healthcare resources and services for all individuals and communities.
