Decision analysis in healthcare
Health economics is about how to allocate finite (“scarce”) resources amongst alternative uses to promote health. Our aims as a group are to inform decisions about the use of health care resources at local, national and international level and to build capacity and promote the uptake of health economics in healthcare decision making.
We develop and apply high quality methods in our research as well as training the next generation of health economists through our successful Master of Science and PhD programmes in Health Economics. Our activities help ensure our health services are sustainable and contribute to improving the health and well-being of patients and the general public.
Our Research
Our research revolves around a central theme of decision-making in health care and key areas include:
• Health economic evaluation
• Patient preferences and outcome valuation
• Social care policy

Research With Us
We regularly advertise PhD opportunities for those interested in pursuing research in health economics to a greater depth. Alternatively, if you have an idea you wish to develop, speak to one of our staff whose research interests overlap with your topic.
For those with a strong economics background, we are very pleased to be able to offer the opportunity to apply for funding through the South East Network for the Social Sciences, covering fees and living expenses for either a three year PhD, or a ‘1+3’ covering our MSc and the PhD.
