Our perspective

The evidence that proves a medicine is worth paying for

Payers and HTA bodies expect robust economic and outcomes evidence, and they expect it early. HEOR teams now help shape trial design and evidence plans as well as the final submission.

HEOR is a technical discipline with a small, well-connected talent pool. Senior candidates combine methodological depth with the ability to explain the numbers to commercial and access colleagues. We know who they are, at manufacturers and at the agencies and consultancies that train many of them.
