Our research revolves around a central theme of decision-making in health care.
We have expertise in a range of technical approaches, including economic evaluation alongside clinical trials, decision modelling, value of information analysis and preference elicitation methods such as discrete choice experiments and best worst scaling, plus expert elicitation methods. We also have expertise in microeconometric analysis of large datasets, particularly in the area of adult social care.
We aim to impact policy and the delivery of health and social care, for example by working with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), and through influencing Department of Health and Social Care policy.

Research with us
We welcome new collaborations, and enquiries from potential PhD students are always welcome. 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.
