Bob Ross, Health Equity and Decision Making Robert Malcolm
Event details
Using the medium of art, Robert Malcolm, Project Director at York Health Economics Consortium, will explore the important topic of health equity and medical decision making.
Health equity can be described as avoidable, systematic and unjust differences in health between different groups within society. Using quotes and examples from Bob Ross paintings (made famous by The Joy of Painting series), Robert will describe potential methods, approaches and challenges to account for health equity that could be used in health technology assessment (HTA) in the UK.
Join Robert and gain a better understanding of the trade-offs that need to be made when funding medical interventions.
