After taking a first degreee in economics I completed an MSc in Health Economics at the University of York. I then worked for four years in the Department of Public Health Sciences, Kings College, London before coming to LSHTM in 1999. My PhD thesis was on methods for investigating and dealing with international cost variation. My post doctoral research was funded by fellowships from MRC and then NIHR, and extended analytical methods for cost-effectiveness analyses. My current research focuses on statistical methods for cost-effectiveness analyses in particular those that use cluster trials, or observational studies.
Affiliation
Teaching
I organise the economic evaluation study module and teach on the introductory module, introduction to health economics.
Research
My main research interests are in developing analytical methods for cost-effectiveness analyses. My current work aims to develop more appropriate analytical methods for dealing with selection bias, missing data and clustered data.
I am the PI for a 3 year ESRC project on methods for reducing selection bias in health economic evaluation. The study considers alternative approaches for addressing imbalances in observed covariates. In particular, the study examines Genetic Matching, an automated matching approach that extends traditional propensity score matching. The study involves close collaboration with colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley.
I am the PI on a 3 year MRC funded project to investigate analytical methods for economic evaluations that use data from cluster randomised trials. This work compares multilevel models to robust variance estimators and bootstrap procedures. The project is in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Cambridge and in the Department of Medical Statistics, LSHTM.
I have ongoing interests in applying the techniques of economic evaluation across a diverse range of clinical areas including adult and paediatric intensive care, hepatitis C, mental health for routine surgical procedures.
I am interested in supervising PhD students in the general area of statistical methods and health economics evaluation.
