Healthcare organisations worldwide are facing unprecedented pressures: rising costs, demographic shifts, chronic disease burdens, and rapidly evolving technologies. To navigate these challenges, professionals must master both the economic principles that govern resource allocation and the innovation strategies that drive transformative change.
This course offers a deep interdisciplinary dive into health economics, innovation management, and organisational change within healthcare systems. Through evidence-based frameworks, case studies, and applied exercises, participants will learn how to assess healthcare interventions economically, manage large-scale transformation projects, and foster an innovation-ready culture within healthcare organisations.
The course uniquely combines theoretical foundations with practical applications to prepare participants for leading sustainable, efficient, and patient-centred healthcare reforms.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Analyse healthcare financing models and economic drivers influencing policy decisions.
- Conduct cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and health technology assessments to support decision-making.
- Identify key enablers and barriers to healthcare innovation across organisational, regulatory, and technological dimensions.
- Apply leading change management frameworks to real-world healthcare transformation scenarios.
- Develop integrated economic and innovation strategies for long-term healthcare sustainability.
- Understand the ethical implications of resource allocation in public health decision-making.
- Critically evaluate international case studies on successful healthcare innovation and reform.
This course is ideal for:
- Healthcare managers and hospital executives.
- Health economists and financial analysts.
- Public health leaders and policymakers.
- Innovation officers in healthcare organisations.
- Clinical leaders involved in healthcare improvement.
- Academics and researchers in health systems and policy.
- Professionals in pharmaceutical, biotech, medtech, and digital health sectors.
The course utilises a blended learning approach combining expert-led lectures, interactive case discussions, healthcare simulation exercises, group problem-solving workshops, real-world economic modelling tasks, policy analysis scenarios, and peer-to-peer exchange of best practices. Participants will engage with both theoretical concepts and practical tools through a combination of lectures, industry guest speakers and research-based projects.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
