Join us for this In Conversation Live in-person event with Professor John Appleby, the Former Director of Research and Chief Economist at The Nuffield Trust. Interviewed by the Dean of the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Gillian Leng CBE, he will discuss how much we should spend on health care, the need to better understand what drives productivity in health care, why we should ask patients to report on their health outcomes, the role of NICE, and more. Enjoy a complimentary drinks reception.
Professor John Appleby is also a Visiting Professor at the Department of Economics at City University, Visiting Professor at the Institute of Global Health innovation, Imperial College, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Science.
After 42 years working as a health economist in the NHS, universities and think tanks, and in his retirement year, John reflects on the role of health economics and health economists in shaping ideas and practice in health care; Is economics, as the editor of the Lancet, Richard Horton once alleged, “the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the world?” or has it, on balance, made a positive contribution to our lives?
