Role

I have established a large programme of health policy and health services research, involving a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, collaboration across academic institutions, strong collaborative links with NHS constituencies, the use of extensive health service, public health and related datasets, and a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. I have been an applicant on around £8 million of funded research projects, attracting over £1.6 million as a principal investigator. My research programme spans four broad areas: formula funding of English public services; health care equity; health inequalities and evidence based public health; and health services evaluation/knowledge mobilisation. My impact case study on the formula funding of public services was rated a 4* in REF 2014.I am active in public and third sector governance, sitting as a NED of NICE, a Trustee of Change, Grow, Live and a member of the Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation.
