Profile

I joined HEDS in December 2013 as a Research Assistant. Prior to this I studied at the University of York, completing my MSc in Health Economics in 2013 and my BSc(Hons) in Economics in 2012. Since joining HEDs I have been involved in the modelling projects in many different disease areas, including diabetes, oncology and emergency medicine.

Research interests

My research involves conducting health economic evaluations of new strategies to improve the health of people with specific conditions. My most commonly used methods to do this involve using individual level simulation models to estimate differences in costs and benefits over a lifetime horizon. Although I have used other techniques, e.g. cohort models and analysis of cost and benefits within a study when this appropriate.

The most common disease area I do research in is the evaluation of strategies to improve the health of people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. But I have worked across a number of disease areas, including, but not limited to, emergency medicine, oncology, gastroenterology and cardiology.

Teaching interests

My teaching interest revolve around the principles behind conducting economic evaluation of health technologies, how to build economic models to assess health technologies and statistical techniques that can inform economic assessments.

Teaching activities

I am the module leader on HAR 672, advanced simulation methods. I am the deputy module leader on HAR6260: Economic Evaluation and HAR6167: Cost-effectiveness Modelling for Health Technology Assessment. I also coordinate the module HAR6178: Further Statistical Methods for Health Economic Analysis.
