ScHARR has been successful in achieving preferred provider
status on the recent PHE Health Economic (HE) Framework (2018-21) tender. The
Framework brings together a group of providers with a very broad range of
expertise in the economics of public health and social care. It brings the
opportunity to bid for projects and to collaborate with other providers on PHE
health economic priority topics.
ScHARR - Regent Court |
The demand for public health economics advice and support is strong and
increasing both from within PHE and from other national and local bodies
including local authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and national
policy-making bodies. The purpose of projects under the Framework is to assess
the economic case for prevention, provide economic tools and resources, have
economic input to national priorities and build health economics capacity.
This is the second PHE Health
Economic Framework ScHARR has been involved in. Under the previous Framework we
undertook projects to assess the return on investment (ROI) in the Diabetes
Prevention Programme (DPP), to develop a Cardiovascular Disease ROI tool and to
assess the feasibility of linking health and work outcomes.
Through its involvement in the
PHE HE Framework ScHARR is supporting systematic, evidence-based public health
decision-making, and influencing the way allocative decisions are made in order
to improve population health and reduce health inequalities.
