- Profile
-
I have over 17 years’ experience in designing, developing and critically appraising health economic models across a wide range of disease areas. Since joining ScHARR in 2000, I have been involved in the assessment of numerous health technologies for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), including beta-interferon and glatiramer-acetate for multiple sclerosis, anti-TNFs for ulcerative colitis, inhaled therapies for cystic fibrosis and TKIs for medullary thyroid cancer. I have also undertaken modelling assessments for the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC), the Advisory Group for National Specialised Services (AGNSS), the Department of Health and NHS Cancer Screening Programmes, including an options appraisal of colorectal cancer screening programmes. In 2011, I completed an NIHR-funded fellowship evaluating the role and value of health economic models of whole disease and treatment pathways (Whole Disease Modelling).
