- Profile
-
I joined HEDS as a health economist in September 2006. Prior to joining HEDS I worked as a teaching assistant in Economics at the University of Sheffield whilst undertaking a PhD in Economics.
- Research interests
-
- Measuring and valuing health and quality of life
- Measuring and valuing child health
- Methodology of developing preference-based measures of health from existing measures
- Mapping between measures to generate utility values
I lead and undertake research and consultancy projects in health economics, particularly relating to deriving health state utility values. I have been involved in the development of several condition-specific preference-based measures from existing instruments including cancer, dementia, diabetes, epilepsy, flushing, common mental health problems and myelofibrosis, and provides advice to the NICE Decision Support Unit. I have also undertaken NICE DSU technical support documents for estimating utilities focussing on mapping and alternative measures to EQ-5D. I have also estimated societal values for burden of illness and end of life as part of EEPRU.
Current projects
My current projects include a study assessing the equivalence of preference elicitation interviews undertaken online and face-to-face to inform the UK valuation of EQ-5D-5L. I am also working on the MACUSTAR project, which involves generating a preference-based measure for dry age-related macular degeneration.

- Research group
-
I am a member of EEPRU, the Department of Health Policy Research Unit in the Economic Methods of Evaluation of Health and Care Interventions. I am also on the editorial board for Medical Decision Making.
PhD students:
- Hannah Hussain
- Haode Wang
- Teaching interests
-
My teaching interests lie in health economics, in particular QALYs, utilities and outcome measurement.
I am interested in supervising research students in topics/areas related to measuring and valuing health, in particular deriving, estimating and using utility data for health technology assessment.
