Background

I am a researcher with an international reputation in economic evaluation and health technology assessment and have contributed significantly to the growth in the use of systematic reviews and economic modelling in this field.  This expertise is built on over 25 years of health economics experience.  I am currently a Professor of Health Economics a post previously funded by the Health Foundation,  where I lead the Health Economics Group.  I also work closely with the Evidence Synthesis Group and was instrumental in originally setting up that group.

I am  co-ordinating editor of the Cochrane Incontinence Review Group, which is funded by NIHR.  Until January 2020 I was also Chairman of the joint economic methods group of the international Cochrane and Campbell Collaborations (http://methods.cochrane.org/economics/) which develop the methods and conduct systematic reviews of interventions in health care and other policy areas. 

I have considerable managerial and supervisory experience including most recently as the Deputy Director of the Institute of Health & Society.  I also have a proven record in attracting research funds, completing projects to a high standard and in a timely fashion.  I have extensive links with policy makers and researchers throughout the UK and internationally and was economic advisor the recent Topol review on digital medicine.  The total value of competitive peer reviewed funding I have been awarded is in excess £100 million including a substantial number as Principal Investigator.  In addition, I have a strong publication record well over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 4 books, 15 book chapters and over 100 other significant reports.

Key research interests are:

• Economic evaluation as part of randomised controlled trials and Health Technology Assessments for national and international agencies
• Use of economic evaluation techniques in the design of complex interventions and health technologies
• Development of methods for the incorporation of discrete choice experiments and willingness to pay estimates into economic evaluation 

Area of expertise

• Health economics
• Health technology assessment
• Economic evaluation

I would be interested to hear from prospective PhD students if they have research interests in any of these areas.
