Inaugural Lecture – Professor Eve Worrall

What’s Economics Got to Do with It?

Date: Wednesday, June 17 | 5pm to 7pm

Venue: LSTM Campus

Drawing on nearly 30 years’ experience, Eve will explore how economics shapes global health and how her approach to health economics has been shaped by the people, projects and places that she has had the privilege to collaborate with. She will share the key methods and approaches which she believes are the most valuable for informing policy debates and resource allocations decisions, and which she hopes to pass on to future generations of health economists.

About the speaker

Professor Eve Worrall is a health economist with almost 30 years’ experience working as an academic researcher, global health consultant, philanthropic adviser and research programme manager in global health. She studied pure economics before joining LSTM to do her PhD on the economics of malaria early warning systems, immediately feeling at home in a globally facing role with close links to Africa, where she spent some of her childhood. Returning to academia in 2020, Eve focusses on applied health economic evaluations to inform health policy and practice as well as product development decisions. A natural collaborator, Eve enjoys working closely with epidemiologists, clinicians, statisticians, social scientists and programme management staff create work that reflects diverse expertise and experience. She recently established LSTMs Global Health Economics and Financing Unit which works closely with a network of health economists from LSTM and across the Global South to promote health economics and build capability in this vital discipline.

Professor Worrall’s lecture will last approximately 45 minutes followed by a 15-minute Q&A. Guests will be welcomed to attend a networking reception after the lecture.

Due to the capacity of the venue, space within the main room is limited and guests will be seated on a first come, first served basis.
