Autorenporträt

Here is someone who has led hundreds of students to understand economics, over 37 years, and who, through his PhD, and subsequently, has produced research results of interest to his colleagues in a demanding area of health economics, with insights into research methods (especially clinical trials) which give grounds for caution in the implementation of health policy. AHe is also a leader in the area of Work-Based Learning, as his achievements on the Board of the UK's professional placement body show, culminating as they did in the award of an Honorary Membership.
