Biography
Eleanor holds a PhD and a Master of Public Health (Merit) from the University of Glasgow, a BA (Hons) in Economics and German from the University of Stirling, and a postgraduate diploma in Financial Economics from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.
Eleanor has over 12 years of experience with a significant track record of methodological and applied health economic research, having worked on numerous multi-disciplinary research projects. She is the Global HTA Research theme lead within HEHTA, responsible for shaping, promoting and building a portfolio of research under this theme with a growing network of collaborators nationally and internationally. Internal research collaborations include colleagues in Bio-engineering, OneHealth, Human Nutrition and the Centre for Virus Research. She is Principal/Co-Investigator on several large global grants, leading the health economics on multiple projects in low- and middle-income countries funded by donors including the NIHR, BMGF, DFID, MRC and EPSRC.
Before joining Glasgow University in 2010, she held positions with various non-governmental organisations working in international development. She maintains her interest in international development by continuing to do consultancy work in this field and was also based part-time at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Department of Global Health and Development as a Research Fellow in Health Economics in 2013-14.
Research interests
Eleanor’s research interests are healthcare decision-making in low-and middle-income countries, and to improve the usefulness of evidence to decision-makers, enhancing the role of HTA to support policymakers to make more transparent, inclusive, and evidence-based decisions related to healthcare spending and prioritisation. Her research includes economic evaluation of public health and complex interventions, both trial-based and using decision analytic modelling. She has an interest in impact evaluation methodology applied to quantifying the return of investment and value of HTA, and holds a grant from the Center for Global Development Europe to undertake this work; extending HTA to wider sectors; HTA at a macro level; and understanding HTA processes in different contexts. Teaching and capacity development are integral to her work.
Eleanor is a member of university networks and organisations that are pivotal to her interests including the Glasgow Centre for International Development, Glasgow Human Rights Network and the Glasgow Refugee Asylum and Migration Network. Outwith the university, she is on Oxfam’s Humanitarian Register, a trustee of Solas Educational Trust, and a volunteer with Positive Action in Housing.
