Professor Dixon from the University of Sheffield said: "The most non-academic benefit is that our research will improve health systems and decision-making, which will allow hospitals to treat more patients with the same amount of money and will benefit the quality and length of life of patients in both countries."

Keynote speakers included professors drawn from Bournemouth University, the
University of Sheffield, the University of York, the University of Leeds, Zhejiang
University, Fudan University and Shandong University.

The partnership is overseen by the British Council,and aims to create measurable benefits for Chinese patients and the economy by generating new health economics expertise.
