Mt Hood 2022: Diabetes and simulation modelling - workshop
If you are interested in attending future workshops please sign-up for Mt Hood diabetes challenge network for updates
The workshops covers all aspects of building and using health economic diabetes simulation models. The workshop will have no assumed knowledge and is intended to provide an overview of the field including the latest developments.

Speaker
Professor Philip Clarke was instrumental in the development of both versions of the UKPDS Outcomes Model. More recently he has been involved in the development of a comparable Type 1 diabetes simulation model using data from a large diabetes registry in Sweden. He has also been involved with the economic analyses of the major diabetes clinical trials including the UKPDS, FIELD and ADVANCE studies.
Registration & further information
