An economist by training, Andrew took an interest in health economics as
an undergraduate and then took the York Masters programme in Health
Economics. Following a DPhil in Health Economics at the University of
Oxford (Nuffield College) he was awarded a Training Fellowship from the
UK MRC to work on statistical issues in cost-effectiveness analysis and
successfully completed an MSc Applied Statistics. Also as part of the
award, he spent a sabbatical visit at the Centre for Evaluation of
Medicines (CEM) at McMaster University working with Professors Bernie
O’Brien and Andy Willan, and he remains a research associate at CEM. A
member of Oxford’s Health Economics Research Centre (under the
directorship of Professor Alastair Gray) since 1996, Andrew currently
holds a Public Health Career Scientist Award from the UK Department of
Health.
Andrew’s research interests include both methodological issues in
cost-effectiveness analysis and applications. His methodological
interests revolve principally around statistical issues for economic
appraisals conducted alongside clinical trials and the use of decision
models for evaluating health care interventions. Applications include
the cost-effectiveness of interventions in cardiovascular disease and
diabetes, as well as the use of alternative prostheses for total hip
replacement and pharmaceutical treatment for respiratory disease.
He has acted as adviser to NICE in relation to its guidance to
manufacturers, he serves on the UK Health Technology Assessment
Commissioning Board, and he as acted as consultant to the World Bank. He
is on the editorial board of Medical Decision Making and is a co-editor
of Value in Health.
