✍ Event Description
Health economics evidence is a key element in much health services research and particularly in health technology assessments. Identifying economic evidence to inform such research can involve searches in a range of databases and using a variety of strategies. This study day will include a ‘jargon buster’ session on the basics of health economics and economic models. It will also feature presentations about key economics information resources including the CEA Registry, and explorations of options for searching to identify data for economic models. With the closure of key economic evaluation databases (NHS EED and HEED) we will be focusing on how to identify economic evaluations from major bibliographic databases. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice.
Presenter: Julie Glanville, Independent Consultant in Information Retrieval.

An extensive list of courses and events that map to the eight HLA Competencies are now available. Many can be done anytime online
Useful to progress from a health librarian caterpillar 🐛, to a fully-fledged beautiful health librarian butterfly 🦋 (and more prosaically, if you are completing the Health Specialisation PD Scheme – note that participating in this scheme requires ALIA / HLA Membership)
Thanks to Darcy Stephenson (Austin Health Library) for compiling the list. If you find any useful courses / events that are not on the list, send him an email. Somewhat similarly, if there is an professional development area that you think is a bit neglected, send an email to Angela Smith for consideration as an HLA event so we can all improve our skills.

the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, is once again offering a series of ONLINE live interactive workshops on how to do systematic reviews with a focus on how to improve the speed and efficiency of the review process.
The search session will showcase our new and improved version of the Systematic Review Accelerator, so it could be a good opportunity to have a look at our new and improved search tools before we officially launch them later in the year.
The workshops will outline the tasks involved at each of the key steps of the review process and introduce participants to the freely available SRA tools that can be used to complete these tasks more quickly with tips from experienced systematic reviewers and links to key resources provided.
These workshops are for clinicians, students, researchers, policy makers and information professionals who are currently doing or planning to do a systematic review and would like to learn to do them more efficiently.
To benefit from these workshops, you should:
- be conducting or have conducted a systematic review, or
- be intending to do a systematic review AND have a good understanding of what systematic reviews are, how they are done, and what constitutes a good quality systematic review. To help you prepare we will provide background material covering these concepts that you can complete before the workshops.
The series consists of five workshops that cover the key review stages and an additional workshop covering other topics relevant to systematic reviews. Some advanced review concepts may also be covered depending on participants’ requirements. You can attend all the workshops, or just the specific workshops that meet your needs.
Individual Workshops 1 to 5 cost AUD$95 each. We are also offering a FULL package deal which includes Workshops 1 to 5 plus access to Workshop 6 at AUD$400.
