Welcome

 

Welcome to the Centre for Health Economics & Medicines Evaluation (CHEME). Founded in 2001, we are now one of the leading health economics centres in the UK, and aim to:

 “promote and sustain high-quality research, maximise opportunities for research grant capture and publications in high impact journals”

The Centre is active across a range of health economic and medicines evaluation research activities.  These are broadly categorised into the following research themes:

• Public health economics and the health economics of psychosocial interventions and other non-pharmacological health technologies, led by Professor Rhiannon Tudor Edwards

• Pharmacoeconomics, pharmaceutical policy and medicines use, led by Professor Dyfrig Hughes

• Methodological research, focusing on economic evaluation alongside clinical trials, medication adherence and health outcome measurement

CHEME has been successful in attracting research funding from numerous sources, most notably the MRC, ESRC, NIHR, CRUK and WAG, to support its research.

Additionally, CHEME provides health economics research support across Wales and the North West of England; and methodological research support via the MRC Methodological Advisory Service for Trials.

The Centre has an active PhD studentship programme, and provides postgraduate teaching modules in health economics, public health economics and pharmacology.

Our website provides for further information on our staff, our activities, and research highlights.
