Research

Current research interests

During my PhD, I am aiming to develop a more sophisticated model-based decision-support software tool to enable healthcare managers and policy-makers to better estimate the financial and resource-use implications of new Oncology drug adoption cases in the Scottish NHS Secondary Care setting. For this work, I am utilising the locally available rich routine data assets that can be used for model development purpose in order to generate real-world evidence. This work is to be done within the framework of the Edinburgh Cancer Information Modernisation Programme, which is enabling improved access to cancer patient data to support service planning, quality improvement and research to improve outcomes for patients. The programme is delivering a world-class resource for use in collaboration with national analytical partners, researchers and the Scottish Government’s Innovative Healthcare Delivery Programme in association with Health Data Research UK. Research is facilitated by close working with the NHS Lothian Research Safe Haven.
