NIHR EEPRU

The #NHSLongTermPlan aims to cut elective waits to <18 weeks. But reducing waiting times uniformly may worsen health inequalities.
EEPRU research finds prioritising waiting times in deprived areas could limit increases in #HealthInequality & improve health.

Interested in care home research?
The Prioritising Research through Engagement with older Adult Care Homes
(PREACH) study, funded by EEPRU, is pleased to share its findings.

We invite your analysts and researchers to a dedicated webinar to explore:

New spotlights on research
* What drives health inequalities? Personal, family and neighbourhood socioeconomic status, ethnicity or other factors?
* Does publicly-funded Adult Social Care improve the wellbeing of informal and unpaid carers?
These & more:https://bit.ly/3Dk3gDe

The vital role of informal carers can come at a cost to their well-being. This paper looks at how an increase in Adult Social Care (ASC) expenditure in England could help ease this burden, improving carers' quality of life: bit.ly/42X2i8M

How much should the NHS pay for new drugs when they are used to treat more than one condition?

New research compares the alternatives of Uniform Pricing, Indication-Based Pricing (IBP) and Commercial Flexibility. Find out more here: bit.ly/3Dk3gDe

Is there a gap between funding and need for Public Health Services?

This project will:
* Quantify unmet need for key PH services
* Explore real-world estimate limitations via surveys & interviews
* Deliver recommendations

This work will empower better funding decisions: bit.ly/3Dk3gDe

Is extending eligibility for Adult Social Care better than spending more on people who already use services?

Our study shows expanding eligibility improves quality of life for more people & is better value for money. Key findings for policy makers: bit.ly/3Dsdam3

How can we ensure cost-effectiveness analyses accurately reflect patient quality of life? We developed econometric methods to identify when and in what way EQ-5D may be limited. Methods are being tested in breast cancer, dementia, liver disease & CF. Discover our findings: bit.ly/43n6d07
