The UK-China Health and Economy Partnership promotes long-term collaboration in pharmacoeconomics and Health Technology Assessment (HTA), between leading academic institutions, in China and the United Kingdom. The aim of the project is to generate new expertise and techniques in health economics. These new assessment techniques are intended to significantly increase the positive impact on health for Chinese patients and the wider economy.

The partnership aims to create long-term, sustainable collaboration in health economics, which will give UK and Chinese academics the means to work together on world-class educational and research outcomes that would otherwise not be possible working in isolation. 

This partnership was originally launched in Jinan, Shandong province in November 2017 by Bournemouth University.  GlaxoSmithKline and the British Council have extended the partnership for a further two years, from January 2019.

Overarching objectives

  • Create long-term partnerships that generate research-led technical advice that supports the reform of Chinese HTA processes and builds in-country capacity in health economics. 
  • Support Chinese universities in achieving the aims of the government’s Double First Class programme by linking the best health economists in the UK and China to create world-class research. 

  • Lead joint projects that employ the latest developments in HTA, statistics and modelling methods, whilst generating world-class research that improves the quality of available evidence. 

Immediate objectives

  • Form one-to-one partnerships that result in: 
    • Joint research and funding applications 
    • Production of peer-reviewed papers 
    • Sharing of best practice
    • Long-run research collaboration 

Participating UK institutions 

  • Bournemouth University 
  • University of Leeds 
  • University of Sheffield
  • University of York
