Second paper from my PhD on the use of health economics in adaptive clinical trials :)
A qualitative analysis has just been been publisheed on how health economics [HE] can be used in the design and analysis of adaptive clinical trials (@Flight_LG @Alan_Brennan @ScHARR_DTS @ScHARRHEDS @ScHARRSheffield @CTRU_Sheffield).

Heard about #ValueOfInformation, want to know more? How useful it is, how to avoid the consequences of suboptimal decision making.... Check this out👇 Part 1. Part 2 on ‘how to calculate’ to follow in March edition
The 1st report from the #ISPOR VOI Task Force is for decision makers, stakeholder groups identifying research priorities, & healthcare payers using formal assessment processes to inform their decisions about funding healthcare technologies. Prt 2 in March. ow.ly/o3YQ50yzFJS

Tweeps - do we need theories for public involvement in research - and if so why? I’m working with @OsloMet students and this has come up - interested in others views and experiences - thanks! #PPI #PublicInvolvement. @jonathanboote @sophie_stan2 @KristinaStaley2

This looks like it could be really useful for decision analytical modelling (adding to my big back-log of interesting papers to read): Comparing a stochastic differential equation model to a Markov model onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

I found the @NIHR_RDSYH to be an invaluable source of help when submitting my @NIHRcommunity fellowship - would highly recommend making the most of their support.

Thank you for having me @LSBrinkman, I had a great time! (And it wasn't raining 👍🌇)
Thanks to @BenjaminKearns2 for presenting his work on dynamic survival modelling and application in hta as part of our @ISPORorg student chapter seminar series! Thanks to @HealthEcon_MCR & #ISPOR

Very useful starting guide for developing decision models in R
Our new @DARTHworkgroup tutorial on Markov models in #rstats is out as preprint! arxiv.org/abs/2001.07824 Go check it out, learn how to implement time-constant and time-dependent Markov models, download the code from @github and modify it to create your own models! Link to repo 👇🏾

“leaders from across the research sector – at universities, funders and societies – need to accept that the drive for increased performance has resulted in an unintended consequence: a hyper-competitive and individualistic working environment.”
