Nancy joined the OHE in 2009, bringing over 20 years of experience in health economics research. Nancy has published original research on a wide range of health economics topics in economics, health services research and health policy journals and is co-author of a leading UK textbook, Economic Analysis in Health Care. She has experience as a consultant and advisor to Government and non-Government health care organisations in the UK and internationally. Nancy’s principal areas of research expertise are the measurement and valuation of patient reported health outcomes; the cost effectiveness thresholds used in making judgments about value for money in health care; priority setting in health care; production, performance and efficiency of hospitals; and the determinants of patient choice.

 

Nancy has roles with a number of national and international organisations. She is a member of the Executive of the EuroQol Group, a European-based international network of researchers which developed the EQ-5D, and is leading the development of new Time Trade Off methods for the valuation of EQ-5D. She is also a Senior Associate of the King’s Fund, an independent health policy think-tank, and has honorary professorial appointments at Cass Business School, London and at the Centre of Health Economics, University of York. Since 2010 Nancy is on the MRC's Methodology Research Panel (MRP).

Prior to her appointment at OHE, Nancy was Professor of Economics at City University, where she also held posts as the Head of Economics Department and Acting Dean of Social Sciences. Nancy has a PhD in Economics from the University of Otago, New Zealand.
