A Dose of Economics

A Dose of Economics is a podcast where the OHE team debate the most pressing questions in health economics, resource allocation, and healthcare policy with leading experts.

Introduction 

Even as an experienced health economist, Grace Hampson has questions. And as a specialist in value assessment, pricing, reimbursement, and public health, she’s not short of topics to explore. 

A Dose of Economics is Grace and the OHE team thinking out loud — debating the questions that matter most in health economics,  resource allocation, and healthcare policy, with the experts doing the work at the highest level. 

About the podcast 

Each Tuesday, Grace sits down with leading researchers, economists, and policy experts from around the world for conversations that get to the heart of the matter.  

One question runs through every episode: what can health economics really bring to the most pressing problems in healthcare today?
 

Topics include: 

  • NICE decision-making and cost-effectiveness thresholds 
  • AI and its role in health systems 
  • Developments in international drug pricing policy 
  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) 
  • Drug shortages and prevention 
  • QALYs, DALYs, and how we measure value 
  • Patient voice in health technology assessment 
  • Resource allocation and public health economics

We can’t promise answers. But we can promise frank, jargon-free thinking straight from the people working closest to the issues that matter.
