The Centre for Health Economics & Organisation (CHSEO, Nuffield College, University of Oxford) is a research unit focused on whole-system analysis of the English health sector and selected local health economies. It was created in December 2010 and is funded by the Department of Health.
The CHSEO has organised four seminars in October and November as part of its Seminar Series in Health Policy. The inaugural seminar was delivered by Bill McCarthy, Interim Managing Director of the NHS Commissioning Board. It was an exceptional opportunity to hear about current developments related to the health reform and to get know McCarthy's vision for the enormous challenge he is facing.
The next speaker is Martin Chalkley (Thursday 3rd November, 4.30pm), who will be discussing the impact of the National Tariff on productivity. Subsequent seminars concern the impact of Foundation Trust status and the revalidation of doctors. MOre information is available here.
