A part-time postdoctoral researcher with experience of working in the public sector, I am passionate about public health and wellbeing, planetary health and sustainable development.
I undertake evaluations of complex public health interventions, searching for win-win-win solutions to health system and societal challenges.
I enjoy working in interdisciplinary teams at the research, policy, and practice interface, and I'm particularly interested in preventative, cross-sector, community-based interventions and their sustainable financing. I also have a general interest in the links between health, wellbeing, and the environment.

- Applied Health Economics for Public Health Practice and Research
Building on 20 years of our experience in research and teaching health economics to public health practitioners and those undertaking research in public health, we offer this two-day free online short course showcasing our research portfolio at the Public Health and Prevention Economics Research Group (PHERG) at the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation (CHEME). Through recorded presentations and live breakout rooms with you, the delegates, and our faculty of researchers at PHERG CHEME, we will be asking and discussing collaboratively:
What additional challenges does applying methods of economic evaluation to public health and prevention initiatives within and outside of traditional health care systems pose and how can we address them?
What methods are we, as health economists, using (diversifying our portfolio) to address these challenges and add to the evidence base of the relative cost-effectiveness and social value of public health and prevention interventions across sectors and across the life-course?
How can such interventions be paid for in future and how do these methods relate to overarching policy approaches to sustainability and climate change?
This short course accompanies the textbook: Edwards, R. T., & McIntosh, E. (Eds.). (2019). Applied health economics for public health practice and research. Oxford University Press.
