Brunel First Annual Health Economics and Policy Forum

We are delighted to invite you for the inaugural Brunel Annual Health Economics and Policy Forum, to be held on 14th May 2024, at Brunel University London. This esteemed event, in collaboration with the University of Oxford, represents a significant gathering of expert healthcare thought leaders, practitioners, public health professionals, and health policymakers.

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.
