Profile

I joined ScHARR in 2004 and was appointed as a Research Fellow in 2007. In early 2011 I was appointed Senior Lecturer in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and in 2014 I was promoted to Reader and made a University Senate Fellow for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.

I was previously the Lead for the systematic reviewers in HEDS (2017-18), Deputy Director of Health Economics and Decision Science (2018-2022) and the REF2021 Co-ordinator for the School (Unit of Assessment 2).

  • The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) process and related decision-making;
  • Research on research: research impact and the analysis of evidence informing healthcare decision-making;
  • Information retrieval and programme evaluation (implementation fidelity) research
