What we do

Better decisions means better outcomes

Health resources are finite, and choices must be made. Our services generate evidence for the adoption of innovation, supporting system leaders and budget-holders in allocating resources most effectively.

We help you evaluate health-related innovations ranging from digital health, artificial intelligence, medicines and medical technology, algorithms, new models of care, and interventions including surgical procedures.

Our health economics service helps you generate evidence for adoption of innovations and supports system leaders and budget holders in allocating resources most effectively. We also help you learn more about how effective and efficient healthcare services are, identifying areas for potential improvement to patient care.

Services include:

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of interventions
  • Comparing the health benefits and costs of the options ‘on the table’
  • Matching your capacity to demand
  • Understanding your local population and the opportunities to improve health and wellbeing

We use a range of advanced techniques and technologies to underpin our work, ensuring quality and ongoing improvement. Learn more
