evidence for decision makers. It provides guidance, based on best practice,
to those developing evidence submissions to reimbursement agencies or health

practical sessions. There will also be ample opportunity for one-to-one
discussion with the course leaders on specific issues.
This training event will be useful to those who:
* Prepare evidence submissions to reimbursement agencies;
