This new introductory course developed by the @ARC_West health economics team is designed for people working in the health and care system, delivering or commissioning services, improving use of available resources or strengthening knowledge of economic evaluation.

Overwhelmed that our paper has hit 100K reads/downloads. Is the most read paper in the Journal of Further and Higher Education @tandfonline.This study is a reminder of the challenge of oral presentations for some students in HE and that assessors should take this into account.

Such a powerful video for the start of another year from @samaritans in these tough times for many people. Key message is to look out for each other, signs of mental health issues are not always obvious. #lookoutforeachother.

In Nov/Dec 2023 we ran "Authentic Public Speaking" online workshops @ARC_West for public contributors in research. After positive feedback, we will continue online workshops, plus face to face public speaking practice opportunities. See our recent blog:

Thoroughly enjoyed facilitating these workshops for #PPI public contributors @ARC_West. Please see our website training pages for future online and face to face authentic public speaking workshops in 2024. #PublicSpeaking.

Really enjoyed facilitating the Authentic public speaking workshop for PPI contributors at @ARC_West today. Great interaction and feedback from the participants. Our training and capacity building team are looking forward to running more research related workshops in 2024.
