Details

Healthcare and oncology care require rethinking in the face of global human and planetary challenges. The session will start by providing an overview of challenges facing health services as a consequence of climate breakdown and nature loss. It will then move on to providing an overview of the drivers of improvement in outcomes, beyond traditional consideration such as drug development and wider technological innovation. In particular the need to consider the equity and efficiency of the service as well as a focus on outcomes by considering system issues such as workforce, financing of health care, regulation, health technology assessment, governance, service design and implementation of evidence-based care. Examples of low value care in the pharmaceutical arena particularly the marginal gains come at the cost of investment in other aspects of the pathway more likely to deliver improvements in outcomes.
