PRUDENT Prioritization, incentives and Resource use for sUstainable DENTistry https://www.prudentproject.eu/ The CALM trial: the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a guided self-help cognitive behavioural therapy intervention to reduce dental anxiety in children https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR131805 Study of the utilisation of Clinical skills Of dental nurses/hygienists/therapists working in Primary dental care: realism and Economic evaluation (SCOPE)

My main interest is in applying economic principles and methods in oral health and the study of decision making in oral health. This involves a variety of work across a wide range of dental disciplines, although the work is concentrated around paediatric dentistry, replacements for missing teeth, root canal treatment (endodontics), periodontal treatment, orthodontics and preventive care. I have particular interests in the economics methods of willingness to pay/discrete choice experiments and economics-based priority setting tools in policy decision making (commissioning).
