Health Economics Explained (HEX)

Developed by Economics By Design and 33n

What is HEX?

Health Economics Explained (HEX) is a dynamic, one-day online interactive course designed to provide a foundational understanding of health economics, with a strong focus on value in healthcare decision-making.

Through engaging discussions and practical insights, participants will learn how to define, measure, and communicate value—essential skills for building strong business cases for service improvement.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply appropriate tools for economic evaluation in healthcare
  • Assess the quality of economic evaluations and their role in local and national healthcare decisions
  • Clearly articulate what value means in a healthcare context and how to measure it
  • Demonstrate the impact of service improvements or workforce transformation with evidence-based economic insights

This course is ideal for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and decision-makers looking to enhance their ability to make informed, value-driven choices.
