Fiona Campbell is a Research Fellow in Health Economics and Decision Science within the School for Health and Related Research (ScHARR) at the University of Sheffield. She has a clinical nursing background in oncology nursing, district nursing and health visiting and has worked in this capacity both in the UK and developing country settings.  These experiences led to a keen interest in the use of research to inform and improve health care and public health.  She trained in systematic review methodology and  has conducted and published reviews for NICE, HTA and the Cochrane Collaboration. Her work has been used to inform NICE guidance for treatments for hypertension, obesity, excessive alcohol use, hospital errors and approaches to increasing levels of physical activity.  She has designed, led and published work on methodological aspects of systematic reviewing and teaches systematic review methodology to postgraduate students.
