Research interests
I’m a health economist with over 20 years' experience of research on health and healthcare. This research has been based in primary and secondary locations of care as well as school-based settings. I have mainly been involved in the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of health interventions which have involved randomised controlled trials. These trials have been conducted by multidisciplinary research teams including quantitative and qualitative methodologists. Particular areas of interest have been urology and orthopeadics. My methodological research interests stems from the challenges of conducting and analysing economic evaluations alongside randomised controlled trials. I have a particular interest in the prevention of missing data, through the improvement of resource use questionnaire design and the use of routine data.
I currently co-lead a unit on the introduction to health economics within the Public Health Masters programe.
