There is currently a growing faculty of UEA staff with an interest in health economics. The School of Health Policy and Practice aims to develop a multidisciplinary program of research and teaching in health and health care. Within this overall aim, disciplines within HPP are encouraged to develop their own unique identity and establish programs of work which foster both professional advancement and their discipline. To this end, the HEG is one of four groups within HPP reflecting different professional disciplines. As its name indicates, the HEG, in seeking to contribute to the wider goal of HPP of improving health and welfare, is committed to the development and application of the discipline of economics in the fields of health services research, public health research and health policy.
