Pictured: Local host Bernhard Michalowsky joins Plenary Chairs Juanita Haagsma & Nils Gutacker on stage 📸 😄 Together, they welcomed EuroQol members & guests to the #EuroQolPlenary2025. We're looking forward to insightful discussions in the scientific programmes ahead.

I'm currently on my way to the #EuroQolPlenary2025 in Vienna! Very much looking forward to it, I always learn so much from these meetings. For example, this time I've already learned not to fly with Brussels Airlines. #EQ5D #HealthEconomics

🚨 📝 The UK Government has announced its 10 Year Health Plan. The plan aims to shift care from hospitals to communities by creating a new Neighbourhood Health Service. ✅ It’s good news for people living with a terminal illness. Here’s why 🧵 (1/7)

Great to see @bryonyd2.bsky.social discussing “Economic evaluation of a brief psychological intervention for depression in patients with type II diabetes in Pakistan and Bangladesh (DiaDeM): Do different perspectives make a difference?” at #HESG Summer 2025 in Brighton. #HealthEcon #GlobalHealth

Great discussion of @juetarthur.bsky.social 's paper on "Arthritis and employment: Mapping the wellbeing pathway through job changes" from Xiaoyu Zhang @kingshealth.bsky.social #HESG #Brighton @adam-martin.bsky.social @beardy-econ.bsky.social

I see work are making us upgrade to Windows 11.

Ramzi Fayad presenting our work in circular economy at the EURO2025 OR conference in Leeds @auhe-leeds.bsky.social

Today Miaoqing Yang from @auhe-leeds.bsky.social is presenting at Loughborough Business School on the “Impact of Mental Health and Poverty on Substance Use of Adolescents: A Multi-Trajectory Analysis using the UK Millennium Cohort Study”

I have to say I don't feel like I've gotten a lot out of #ESTRO25 overall. On the one hand, fair dos, it's a clinical conference and I'm not a clinician. But I work on preferences/decision-making/QOL/etc. and that seems really relevant to the area.

#ESTRO25 Really enjoyed the panel discussion "Innovation in healthcare: Who pays?", especially interesting to hear from industry and people driving innovation on the ground. As a health economist, my answer to the question posed would be: Other patients.

Tonight I took advantage of being in Vienna to see Lohengrin at the Vienna State Opera. Really enjoyed it! Anyone fancy a quick invasion of Poland?

How do patients prioritise different aspects of non-operative rectal cancer treatment? We conducted a prospective, longitudinal multicentre study alongside a clinical trial, asking rectal cancer patients undergoing definitive RT to help us understand their treatment preferences #ESTRO25 #RadOnc

Off to my first #ESTRO 2025 session today! Here's our poster, a DCE on preferences for non-surgical rectal cancer treatment. We found: - patients accepted more toxicity for a greater chance of cure - long-term side effects more important than short-term - preferences stable pre/post-treatment

Ich bin in Wien. #ESTRO #ESTRO2025

I'm off to #ESTRO 2025 today! On the train to King's Cross, then it's St. Pancras to Brussels, then it's the night train to... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJeW...

Thanks again for the invitation! Here you can see me in action explaining what a projector screen is.

We're looking for two post-doc researchers ... check out the jobs below! ⬇️

On the train to That London this morning. Looking forward to presenting a @khe-kings.bsky.social seminar on "Treat one, treat everyone? Quantifying who benefits from health-related productivity gains"

Just back from a thought provoking and inspiring EuroQol Academy meeting in Barcelona. What really impresses me about these EuroQol meetings is the depth of talent among the PhD students, early career researchers and new EuroQol members from around the world. #HealthEconomics #EQ-5D #HRQoL #EuroQol

Spending two full days on trains were worth it - wonderful course, super engaged participants, and even as faculty, it’s a real privilege to get three days with top experts in anorectal cancer #radonc Now on a train bound for Porto, where @beardy-econ.bsky.social and I will have a few days to relax

Had a great time co-leading a poster session at the EuroQol ECR meeting this afternoon with @chrissampson87.bsky.social. Fantastic to see so much good, innovative #EQ5D research lead by ECRs.

Mine is of course the vin rouge, not the coke.

I can recommend the Toad burger.

I made it to That London, and now I'm on the EuroStar and on my way to Barcelona for the EuroQol Academy meeting. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! #EQ5D www.youtube.com/watch?v=7icI...

Also today, Wessam Abass is attending the UCL Health Economics Policy Lab conference on economic evaluations alongside #trials and using #RealWorldEvidence in London

The North clearly starts when you board a train at Kings Cross and the conductor announces we'll be stopping at Donny and Wakey.

Today @clairemillsslt.bsky.social @beardy-econ.bsky.social @johnodwyer.bsky.social Miao Yang & Taya Zabula are at the 2nd Meeting of #EQ-5D researchers in the UK and Ireland and Claire is pitching a proposal on “Improving measurement of health-related quality-of-life in intensive care using EQ-5D”

Despite the early train, I'm excited to be off to the Meeting of EQ-5D researchers in the UK and Ireland in London today! A good contingent from Leeds, with @johnodwyer.bsky.social, @clairemillsslt.bsky.social, Taya Kamwanja and Miao Yang also coming #EQ5D

How well does current methods guidance support health economists to produce evidence to improve healthcare access and equity? 🤔 doi.org/10.1017/S026...

Saw a really excellent Opera North production of the Flying Dutchman this afternoon, and was only slightly distracted by the lead being dressed as The Undertaker.

@auhe-leeds.bsky.social Information Specialists at #COREIRF25 with Embase estimates poster. We think for most searches you multiply Ovid Embase search results 2-3 times to estimate the size of your final deduplicated search results #SystematicReview

A reminder: we have a funded PhD studentship available to start Oct 2025 “What is driving the rapid rise in poor health and economic inactivity among young adults? A study of transitions into employment” #episky @socsocmed.bsky.social #publichealth #diet @imperialmed.bsky.social details below

#InformationRetrieval careers progression - super panel. So interesting to hear how we've found and developed our roles #COREIRF25 @michellemaden.bsky.social

Today, @jmwleeds.bsky.social is the opening key note speaker at the CORE Information Retrieval Forum 2025 hosted by @newcastleuni.bsky.social. She will deliver a talk on "How to survive (and thrive) as an information specialist"

Come and join our fantastic team of Health Economists! #JobVacancy #Cancer #DataScience

#HESG Time for the train home - in a carriage with a large health economics contingent. A great conference as always, thanks to the amazing organisers.

#HESG Made it to the final session! A discussion of @johnodwyer.bsky.social's paper "A Discrete Choice Experiment to Compare Valuations of the EQ-5D-3L and a Modified Version for Adults with Learning Disabilities" by Siyabonga Ndwandwe.

This was great fun! I learned about fundamental questions of cost-effectiveness analysis 🤓 Also always good to know how to potentially increase the pie 🥧
