MRC workshop on Health Economic Analysis Plans

On 20th October 2015, a workshop was held in Bristol to discuss issues with 'Health Economics Analysis Plans (HEAPs)'.

This cross-Hub collaboration between Bristol, Bangor and Oxford universities was well-attended; 50 participants heard presentations from speakers covering a range of topics before breaking into smaller groups to discuss the appropriate content, oversight and potential changes to HEAPs.
