Now in its sixth year, the conference will bring together representatives from the rapid evaluation community, including analysts, users and commissioners to explore the theme: Evidence-based decisions when budgets are tight: rapid evaluation and knowledge mobilisation.
The UK health and social care system is experiencing numerous challenges, including increasingly tight budgets, leading to a system trying to deliver more for less. Within this context, rapid evaluations that enable evidence-based decisions are crucial, as is mobilising existing evidence.
The conference brings together those who are interested in rapid evaluation, including analysts, evaluators, service users, policy makers, commissioners and local decision makers to discuss current and future challenges, engage in new thinking and develop ideas that can help improve systems and processes.
