One of our QoLEAD PhD students Jinjing Fu had the opportunity to attend the 12th EuHEA PhD & Supervisor Conference at Brussels — three days of inspiring discussions on health economics.
‘I was glad to attend alongside my supervisor, Ron Handels, and to exchange ideas with researchers from across Europe. Dementia and neurodegenerative diseases were recurring themes, reflecting the urgency of this challenge across Europe. It was motivating to see researchers from different countries bringing innovative perspectives to this shared issue.
In our session, we presented and discussed our health-economic model for dementia care. We received valuable feedback and constructive suggestions from the discussant and the audience on how to strengthen both the methodology and the policy relevance of our work. We discussed the growing availability of non-pharmacological interventions, and how we can better evaluate their value, identify appropriate funding solutions, and ensure timely access for patients and their caregivers. Our model is timely and well-positioned to help address these questions.
We look forward to refining our research and sharing further developments with you soon.’
