National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics

Update on Pharmacoeconomics in the Irish Healthcare Setting (Course ref 2018/07)

Wednesday 21st – Thursday 22nd March 2018

Venue – Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.

Expenditure on medicines has greatly increased worldwide in recent years. This translates into a four-fold rise over the last 10 years in Ireland. The reasons for such growth include the prescribing of newer more expensive medicines as well as the growth in the overall number of prescription items. The focus of concern for decision makers, healthcare professionals and the public should be the value derived from drug therapy rather than drug expenditure alone. Pharmacoeconomics is that branch of health economics that focuses on the costs and benefits of drug therapy. In the context of limited healthcare budgets, pharmacoeconomics can greatly facilitate optimum use of limited resources. This introductory course will cover all aspects of pharmacoeconomics including:

Stakeholder discussion (HSE, Pharma, hospital)

Role of pharmacoeconomics in decision making at national and international level

HSE reimbursement decisions – Payer and pharmaceutical industry perspectives on reimbursement

Methods of economic evaluation

Practical application of pharmacoeconomic principles

Pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement, recent cost-containment measures

This two-day training course will be led by experts from the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics and Trinity College Dublin.
