What a great use of existing data from @MarieCurieEOLC funded research for a secondary analysis of a health economic measure for end of life @UoBrisHEB @joclarkecoast
Check out the ICECAP-SCM for conducting economic evaluation of palliative care interventions. Latest research led by @UoBrisHEB funded by @MarieCurieEOLC@sabinebest

This is an fine paper - essential reading for anyone interested in social preferences and the end of life premium debate. Those of you who attended my talk at #iHEA2019 will have seen me present a few extracts from this study.
