- Public engagement in health economics: Science Village in the National Eisteddfod of Llŷn and Eifionydd.
Public engagement in health economics took place at the Science Village during the 2023 National Eisteddfod in Wales, where staff and students of CHEME hosted an interactive stall engaging visitors of all ages. Activities included a card game exploring NHS costs and a creative exercise on measuring health and comparing healthcare interventions. These activities introduced key economic concepts such as opportunity cost and cost-effectiveness while gathering public insights. Designed and delivered by researchers with varying Welsh language proficiency, the sessions attracted up to 150 participants per day, enhancing public engagement with health economics.
