The School of Health
and Related Research (ScHARR), University of Sheffield, are currently taking
‘Expressions of Interest (EoI)’ for the Interventional Studies as Service
Evaluations workshop, taking place in Sheffield on Tuesday 4th
June 2019 from 9:30am until 4:30pm.
The event is an
opportunity for researchers and commissioners who work in the area of
healthcare evaluation and/or commissioning to come together to discuss and
debate what types of ‘evidence’ can be obtained from service evaluations as an
alternative to research. This includes the associated benefits and negative
consequences of taking these alternative approaches.

Workshop highlights include taught sessions
on understanding and distinguishing the differences between service evaluations
and research, statistical methods for assessing effectiveness alongside
non-randomised study designs (ability to randomise being a key difference
associated between research and service evaluations), and methods for assessing
value for money (ranging from formal economic evaluation methodologies to
cost-only analyses). These taught sessions will culminate in a structured group
discussion related to using service evaluations relative to research as a
vehicle for assessing effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as
commissioners’ and researchers’ perspectives on why one approach might be
chosen over the other.
The workshop is being run by Dr Steve Ariss, Dr Kate Ren, Dr Matt Franklin (University of Sheffield), Professor Gerry Richardson and Dr James Lomas (University of York).
