Dr Emily Holmes
Senior Research Fellow in Pharmacoeconomics
Overview
Emily is a Reader at the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation, Chair of the Bangor University Researcher Development & Concordat Group, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Liverpool. In 2021 Emily was awarded Health and Care Research Wales Rising Research Star and in 2022 she participated in both the Welsh Crucible and Aurora Leadership Programme for Women.
Emily’s research interests and expertise include preference elicitation and the influence of human behaviour on the cost-effectiveness of interventions. She currently holds a five-year Health Research Fellowship awarded by Health and Care Research Wales to investigate the economics of rapid diagnostics to reduce antibiotic prescribing in Wales (TRaDe); and is co-investigator of studies eliciting preferences for Active Travel (INHABIT) and ambulance care pathways following seizures (NIHR-Collaborate). Emily is keen to advance interdisciplinary research of global health concerns. In 2021 she set-up the Bangor University Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research Interest Group and in 2023 became a founding member of the Wales Active Travel Research Consortium (ATLAS). Emily also supervises several research students conducting research on trade-offs in cancer care, epilepsy, and dentistry.
Emily graduated in Economics at the University of Liverpool and started her career at the University of Manchester, before taking her position at Bangor University. She completed her doctoral research in behavioural economics and health psychology of medication adherence. Emily has over 50 published papers and conference proceedings and edited health technology assessment reports for the All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Centre (AWTTC) for several years. More recently, she has led on bi-lingual (Welsh & English) public engagement activities for children and adults to learn about Health Economics at National Festivals and University Community Days. Emily was an inaugural member of the International Society of Medical Adherence Research (ESPACOMP) ECR committee. Currently, she is a member of the Health and Care Research Wales Faculty and Deputy Chair of the Doctoral and Advanced Fellowship Awards Panel. She is also a member of the LISTEN & FASAR (NIHR) Trial Steering Committees, Bangor University Athena SWAN working group, and the Bangor University healthcare and medical sciences academic ethics committee review panel.

- BU-IIA Funded Project: Bangor University Antimicrobial Resistance Interest Group: Engagement Project
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge to human and animal health requiring an interdisciplinary approach to research. The Aim of the Bangor University AMR Interest Group is to engage Bangor University staff and students to advance interdisciplinary research, within the theme of AMR, and promote the use of this research in policy and practice. The interest group is chaired by Emily Holmes, who holds a five-year Health and Care Research Wales Health Research Fellowship, investigating the impact of rapid diagnostics to reduce antibiotic prescribing in Wales.

Description
Bangor University is carrying out a survey of public attitudes to epilepsy and people with epilepsy in the UK.
This survey will measure the UK public attitude towards epilepsy and people with epilepsy in 2018. They will use a method that can be repeated at future time points, in order to track changing public attitudes over time.
The results from this project will assist Epilepsy Action in planning future work to improve awareness and understanding of epilepsy.
