Biography
A key component of my academic career has been the design, implementation and analysis of economic evaluations alongside clinical studies, particularly randomized controlled trials. I have been involved in numerous trials as the health economist. I have also been involved with a number of health economic models as well as NICE technology appraisals.
I joined the Trent Institute in 1998 as a health economist. This was the start of a long association with organisations providing health economics advice and support to local researchers. These include:
- Trent Institute (Leicester unit)
- Trent Research Design Support Unit (RDSU) at Leicester
- Links with Southampton RDSU
- South Central RDS
- East of England RDS
