Description
Enhance your understanding of how new drugs and treatments are adopted by health services through health technology assessments.
Explore the decision-making process behind healthcare technology assessment
Why are some treatments made available to patients while others are not?
On this course, you’ll explore how health technology assessment (HTA) informs whether we should have access to certain treatments on the NHS or other healthcare systems.
You’ll learn how decisions are made about which treatments are made available and the considerations that made surrounding benefits and costs.
This course is based on the University of Sheffield’s online distance-learning programme, the MSc International Health Technology Assessment. You can continue to learn about healthcare decision-making in our other online course Measuring and Valuing Health.
