Economics and health: where is the value in that?

Management in Medicine

Saturday 14 February 2026   09:30 to 14:00

Speakers:

Jacque Mallender, International health and public policy economist, and health evaluation practitioner

About the event

Why should clinicians care about economic value? How does the economics of the health system affect day-to-day working practices and experiences? How can clinicians influence resourcing decisions that improve value?

During the seminar, Jacque will explore the economic paradigm of the NHS, and how economics can help grow value through cycles of improvement. The workshop is organised in two parts:

Part A: The economics of the system

  • Who pays for what and how does the money flow?
  • What are the opportunities for increasing value as we move forward?

Part B: Using the economic lens to drive value over time

How can clinicians use economic principles to influence investment and resource allocation.
