Speaking

Lectures, plenaries and seminars

I have spoken to academic, policy and professional audiences on health economics, economic evaluation, health systems, public policy, modelling and the relationship between evidence and collective decision-making. More recently, my interests have expanded to technology, public value and institutional change.
