The latest HEDS Newsletter is now out - you can read it here 

A warm welcome to our latest newsletter. Despite the trials and tribulations of recent months, I’m
proud to say that our staff have taken a HEDS on approach to COVID and have once again been extremely busy and productive. Highlights in this issue include details of what we will
be presenting at the upcoming ISPOR meeting in November, and we reveal the name of our colleague who has joined ISPOR’s Health Sciences Policy Council.

Elsewhere, our outcomes group has been busy, with the launch of a new PROM’s checklist, and Dr Donna Rowen taking the lead on the new UK EQ-5D-5L valuation study. 

Also in this issue are details of two COVID-related apps which have been developed by Colin Angus, and a cartoon YouTube video by Dr Nick Latimer looking at modelling cancer.

I hope you’ll agree there’s something for everyone!
Until the next issue, take care!
