Understand what is meant by HRQoL and why it’s measurement is seen as valuable
Quality in clinical medicine represents the functional effect of an illness and its consequent therapy upon a patient, as perceived by the patient

Identify different tools available for measuring HRQoL, and the strengths and limitations of each
Generic - EQ-5D, SF36
Specific - site (hip, shoulder), disease (arthritis, asthma), dimension (depression, pain)
Generic ++ - not disease specific, comparisons across treatment groups, used with any population, including healthy people, cover perceptions of overall health
Generic – - less detailed, too general
Specific ++ - relevant content, sensitive to change, acceptable
Specific – - can’t use for people without disease, limited comparison
Define the terms ‘reliable’ and ‘valid’
