Minisymposium Talk Mathematical Epidemiology A Co-production Approach to Epidemic Modelling of Infectious Diseases

Speaker

Edward Hill (University of Liverpool)

Description

The Mathematical and Economic Modelling for Vaccination and Immunisation Evaluation project (MEMVIE) involves the construction of epidemiological models and evaluating the cost-effectiveness of different vaccination interventions to help inform vaccination policy in the UK.

A contributor to the MEMVIE project is our MEMVIE public involvement group. The MEMVIE public involvement group and academic contributors are exploring, capturing and supporting the potential contribution of the public to epidemiological and health economic modelling.

This talk overviews the MEMVIE public involvement framework that has been iteratively co-produced through this process. The MEMVIE public involvement framework identifies points of collaborative public contribution to modelling and supports its implementation \cite{staniszewska2021}.
