Ymchwil Economeg Iechyd Cyhoeddus ac Ataliol

Mae’r Grŵp Ymchwil Economeg Iechyd Cyhoeddus ac Ataliol yn rhan o'r Ganolfan Economeg Iechyd a Gwerthuso Meddyginiaethau yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Meddygol ac Iechyd ac yn rhan o grŵp amlddisgyblaethol Sefydliad Ymchwil Iechyd a Meddygol Bangor. Mae ein hymchwil yn defnyddio model gydol oes sy'n cymhwyso dulliau gwerthuso economeg iechyd i dreialon a chynlluniau astudio eraill i werthuso iechyd cyhoeddus ac ymyriadau seicogymdeithasol ar lefel rhaglen a system. Defnyddir ein hymchwil yn y GIG, sefydliadau’r trydydd sector, a’r llywodraeth. Cyllidir llawer o'n hymchwil gan NIHR, HTA, elusennau a Llywodraeth Cymru.

Ein Set Sgiliau

Gyda lens ymchwil a pholisi, rydym yn cymhwyso economeg iechyd i iechyd y cyhoedd ac ataliol, llesiant a lles.

Mae ein harbenigedd a'r dulliau a ddefnyddiwn i'w gweld yn y ffeithlun hwn:

Gwe-ddiagram yw hwn sy’n amlygu’r dulliau a ddefnyddiwn. Y categorïau yw: Gwerth Cymdeithasol, Adolygu, Gwerthusiad Economeg, Canolbwyntio ar Gyfranogwr a Blaenoriaethu.

Mae tystiolaeth ryngwladol yn awgrymu y daw’r adenillion ar fuddsoddiad mwyaf o fuddsoddiad yn ystod y tair blynedd gyntaf o fywyd. Mae ein hymchwil yn dangos mai camau ataliol cadarnhaol yn ystod datblygiad plant yw'r ffyrdd pwysicaf o ymyrryd a sicrhau'r adenillion ar fuddsoddiad mwyaf i gymdeithas.

Gellir gweld adroddiad Trawsnewid Bywydau Ifanc ledled Cymru Canolfan Economeg Iechyd a Gwerthuso Meddyginaethau yma.

Mae'r ffeithlun newydd hwn yn dangos sut mae ffactorau'n effeithio ar les trwy gwrs bywyd.

Projectau cyfredol

Horizon Europe Invest4Health

Mae'r Ganolfan Economeg Iechyd a Gwerthuso Meddyginiaethau (CHEME) yn bartneriaid allweddol ym mhroject Invest4Health yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Mae’r cydweithrediad hwn gan Horizon Europe ar draws wyth gwlad wedi’i ariannu fel un o’r pedair rhaglen ymchwil fawr ar alwad HORIZON-HLTH-2022-CARE-08-04 — Gwell modelau ariannu ar gyfer systemau iechyd. Mae cyfraniad allweddol CHEME i’r project hwn yn cynnwys edrych ar yr hyn a olygir gan Fuddsoddi Gallueiddio Clyfar, ar draws y sectorau cyhoeddus, preifat a gwirfoddol ar lefel macro, meso a micro, a phrofi a gwerthuso modelau Buddsoddi Gallueiddio Clyfar arfaethedig sy’n anelu at ddarparu cyllid cynaliadwy ar gyfer mesurau iechyd ataliol yn y dirwedd gofal iechyd ôl-COVID-19.

Cyngor ar Bresgripsiwn

Mae Citizens Advice on Prescription (CAP) yn ymyriad lles a phresgripsiynu cymdeithasol a ddarperir gan Raglen Iechyd LerCAP Liverpool logopwl Cyngor ar Bopeth | Cyngor ar Bopeth (citizensadviceliverpool.org.uk). Nod CAP yw darparu un 'porth' o wasanaethau iechyd yn Lerpwl i gynnig cefnogaeth gymdeithasol a lles gyfannol. Elfen allweddol o wasanaeth CAP yw ei fod wedi’i gynllunio i wella bywydau unigolion, ond hefyd i ddarparu cefnogaeth i’r system gofal iechyd, gyda’r nod o leihau’r pwysau ar y gwasanaeth iechyd yn sgil materion nad ydynt yn ymwneud ag iechyd.

Mae tîm economeg iechyd y cyhoedd, ar y cyd â Phrifysgol Lerpwl, ar hyn o bryd yn gwerthuso effeithiolrwydd a chost-effeithiolrwydd y rhaglen CAP. Ar gyfer y dadansoddiadau economaidd iechyd, byddwn yn defnyddio gwerthoedd cyfleustodau ansawdd bywyd sy’n gysylltiedig ag iechyd yn ogystal â newidiadau yn y defnydd o wasanaethau iechyd (e.e. nifer yr ymweliadau â meddygon teulu ac ysbytai), a chostau rhaglenni i gynnal dadansoddiad cost-effeithiolrwydd ac adenillion cymdeithasol ar fuddsoddiad ar yr ymyriad.

KiVaKiVa logo

Mae’r Ganolfan Economeg Iechyd a Gwerthuso Meddyginiaethau, Prifysgol Bangor, yn cynnal gwerthusiad economeg iechyd o raglen gwrth-fwlio cyffredinol KiVa fel rhan o dreial Stand Together y Deyrnas Unedig. Mae dros 25% o blant y Deyrnas Unedig yn cael eu bwlio’n rheolaidd a gall bwlio yn yr ysgol effeithio ar absenoldeb, cyrhaeddiad academaidd ac arwain at blant sy’n cael eu bwlio yn cael mynediad at fwy o wasanaethau iechyd meddwl o gymharu â phlant nad ydynt yn cael eu bwlio. Mae canlyniadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol cwrs bywyd niweidiol posibl yn amlygu pwysigrwydd dull iechyd cyhoeddus ataliol i leihau bwlio ymysg plant. Mae treial Stand Together y Deyrnas Unedig yn darparu’r gwerthusiad treialon hapsamplu rheolyddedig ar raddfa fawr gyntaf o’r rhaglen KiVa yng Nghymru a Lloegr, gan ymchwilio i weld a yw KiVa yn fwy effeithiol a chost-effeithiol o ran lleihau bwlio yn ysgolion cynradd y Deyrnas Unedig o gymharu â dull arferol ysgolion o fynd i’r afael â bwlio. Mae KiVa yn ymyriad cymhleth, aml-gydran a ddarperir o fewn system addysg gymhleth. Rydym yn defnyddio lens gwerthusol eang i ddarparu tystiolaeth cost-effeithiolrwydd cynhwysfawr a pherthnasol i'r rhai sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau.
