E-drug: Pharmaco-economics short course - correct fax number --------------------------------------------- Dear E-druggers I noticed that our fax number is incorrect in the course flyer on e-drug. It reads 532-3992 but should read 521-3992. Below a corrected copy of the final announcement. Thank you. Liz Sterley MEDUNSA Email: lizs@sunshine.medunsa.ac.za ----------- FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT PHARMACOECONOMICS IN DRUG SELECTION An international short course on the use of pharmacoeconomics in drug selection, developed under the auspices of WHO/EDM, will be held in South Africa, from March 27 - April 8, 2000. The aim of the programme is to provide participants with an understanding of the principles and techniques of pharmacoeconomics, and how these tools can be used in making decisions about selecting and purchasing pharmaceuticals for use in health care systems. The course has been developed by an international consortium, including departments of clinical pharmacology and public health at the Universities of Newcastle and Sydney (Australia), and Dundee (UK), in collaboration with Management Sciences for Health and WHO/EDM. The programme in South Africa will be hosted jointly by the University of Newcastle and the Medical University of Southern Africa (MEDUNSA). The confirmed faculty includes Hans Hogerzeil, David Henry, Sue Hill, Glenn Salkeld, Danielle Lang, Peter Davey, Rob Summers. Other Faculty are to be confirmed. The course will be problem-based, facilitated by international and national experts. It will provide participants with the opportunity to work in small groups, learning about and using pharmacoeconomic techniques to address common problems in selecting drugs for national and sub-national formularies. Participants should therefore be working in some aspect of the academic or public health sector, and have some responsibility, either at managerial level or "hands on" level, for selection of pharmaceuticals for essential drugs lists or hospital formularies. Participants should also have a basic understanding of the principles of assessing and evaluating data for drug selection. COURSE DETAILS Venue: Week 1 will be conducted in a venue in Pretoria, the second at Greenway Woods Conference and Golf Hotel on the White River Country Estate in Mpumalanga. Fees: $US3000 (includes tuition and course materials, accommodation and meals, and local travel between venues) [Participants must find their own sponsorship. The course fee does not include travel costs, insurances and incidental expenses] Language: English Closing date: 18 February 2000. The number of participants will be restricted to 40.
