1st Training School: Approaches to Comparative European Healthcare History Cork, 31 July-2 August, 2024
We were delighted to hold our first Training School at University College Cork, Ireland. Hosted by Dr Seán Lucey, WG4 co-lead, the School’s theme was Approaches to Comparative European Healthcare History. The event attracted 17 in-person trainees along with one online. There were six trainers from Ireland, the UK, Germany, Romania and Poland. Across the two days participants heard presentations on How to do Comparative Approaches to Healthcare History, nineteenth century German hospital finance, contemporary healthcare funding in Ireland and in Poland, Sources for Control and Finance of Hospitals and Healthcare in Wales, and a fascinating and thought provoking session on Ethical Criteria of Resource Allocation in Healthcare.
