Profile

I am currently a Scientific Adviser in the Science Policy and Research Team at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Previously I worked in SCHARR as a Research Fellow in Health Economics and Statistics. I still maintain an interest in methodological research focussing on innovative approaches to the design and conduct of clinical trials with an emphasis on how novel statistical methods can be applied in practice.

My PhD research explored the use of health economics in the design and analysis of adaptive clinical trials.

Qualifications

MMath (Sheffield), MSc (Sheffield), PhD (Sheffield)

Research interests
  • Methods for undertaking health economic evaluations alongside clinical trials.
  • Value of information analysis.
  • The use of health economics in the design, monitoring and analysis of adaptive clinical trials.
