Profile

I joined HEDS in March 2010 after completing a MASc from the University of Toronto and a PhD from the University of Southampton. During my time at ScHARR I have worked on several health economic modelling projects, including health technology assessment (HTA) of diagnostic strategies for suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and telemonitoring for heart failure. I was also involved in developing the ��«Ӱҵ Type-1 Diabetes Policy model.

I have also worked with the NICE Decision Support Unit (DSU) in assessing the applicability of multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) in health technology assessment (HTA) and I was involved in the DSU assessment of the economic model submitted by the manufacturer of donepezil for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Research interests

My research interests are:

Healthcare modelling
Health economics
Multi-criteria decision analysis
Optimisation

I am currently working on the following projects

Cost-effectiveness modelling of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) compared with current existing testing pathways in ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NIHR HTA)
Cost-effectiveness of pre-hospital non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for acute respiratory failure (NIHR HTA)
Overcoming barriers to Mainstreaming Assisted Living Technologies (MALT), Technology Strategy Board Assisted Living Innovation Platform (with ESRC and NIHR)
Priority setting approaches for supporting public health commissioners using MCDA techniques
