Welcome to A Dose of Economics

When demand for healthcare is growing but budgets are finite, the "how" and "why" of decision-making matters. In this first episode, host Grace Hampson, a Director at the Office of Health Economics (OHE), introduces the podcast, and sets out what you can expect this season. One question will run through every conversation: what can health economics bring to the most pressing problems in healthcare today? From cost-effectiveness thresholds and health technology assessment (HTA), to AI in health economics, rare diseases, drug pricing policy, antibiotics, and prevention, A Dose of Economics gets to the heart of the matter with expert guests closest to the work.
