Research interests
I am interested in the potential of economics to influence local decision-making relating to the use of resources across the health and social care system. One current research focus is the application of ICECAP capability measures to promote outcome-orientated provision by commissioners and providers of health and social care services.
I have experience of applied economic evaluation and health policy analysis spanning the impact of economic incentives for individuals and organisations, process-orientated quality improvement programmes, and national system reform processes.
