Profile

I was appointed Reader in Health Economics in January 2012, having previously held Senior Lecturer appointments at the Universities of Sheffield (2006-2011) and Newcastle (2002-2006).  Prior to that I worked as a Lecturer at the University of Sheffield (1996–2002) and as a Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen (1991–1996).

Research interests

Developing and applying the contingent valuation methodology, in particular the technique of willingness to pay.

Applications include: estimating the social value of a quality adjusted life year (QALY); using willingness to pay values to aid priority setting in publicly-financed health care systems; investigating how willingness to pay can and should be used alongside randomised trials; the use of willingness to pay to evaluate the benefits of public health interventions such as the fluoridation of drinking water supplies and the supplementation of flour with folic acid; evaluating minimally invasive surgery; assessing patient preferences for diagnostic radiology; and assessing preferences for an expanded newborn screening programme.

The identification, measurement and valuation of (dis)benefits that are not captured in the QALY approach.

Applications include: assessing the value of patient health cards; eliciting patient preferences for out-of-hours primary care services; establishing and quantifying the preferences of mental health service users for day hospital care; eliciting patient preferences for the organisation of vascular services; and assessing preferences for access to a general practitioner.

The application of economic evaluation techniques to assess the efficiency of health care programmes and interventions.

Applications include: screening in primary care; antenatal screening; management of lower respiratory tract infection in general practice; computerised cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety and depression; methods for assessing patients with intermittent claudication; drug treatments for epilepsy; stroke incidence and prevention in Tanzania; venous leg ulcers; and treating upper limb spasticity due to stroke with botulinum toxin.

Current projects

  • Examining the feasibility of measuring process utilities associated with different models of care for obese leg ulcer patients. 
  • The design, development, commissioning and evaluation of patient focused vascular services. 
  • Evaluation of workplace interventions for long latency diseases.
