My research
• I have always gravitated towards health-related applied
research and seem to be interested in almost every topic
under the sun in public health and clinical services
• Mostly I am asked to undertake economic evaluations of
programmes, treatments and services which utilises
skills in economic thinking/approaches & techniques,
quantitative and qualitative research methods, evidence
synthesis, data analysis and statistical estimation
• The themes of my research I would say are service
delivery and evaluation (including economic evaluation),
public health (obesity reduction, alcohol & drugs) and
vulnerable groups (alcohol dependent, prisoners, older
people, benefit recipients, young people..)
