Gwelwch proffil Dr Rachel Granger ar Bortal Ymchwil Bangor

I joined the Centre for Health Economics and Medicine Evaluation (CHEME) in January 2022 and I currently work as a Research Officer in public health economics. I'm particularly interested in women’s health from perimenopause to later life, as well as wellbeing throughout the life course, and the role of lifestyle factors in optimising health and wellbeing.

I specialise in the health economics techniques of Social Return on Investment (SROI) and Cost Consequence Analysis (CCA), as well as working on projects using Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) evaluation techniques.

I have experience of evidence synthesis through carrying out scoping, rapid and systematic reviews. As part of my current role in CHEME I also support the Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre for their rapid evidence synthesis reviews.

Previous to joining CHEME I completed a MRes in Exercise Physiology at Bangor University and provided support for exercise rehabilitation trials in a RPSO role from 2022-23. 

My initial scientific training (BSc and PhD) was in biochemistry and genetics at Cardiff University. I also worked for 8 years in commercial roles as a data analyst in customer behaviour analysis and financial analysis. I also have 14 years’ experience working part-time as a tutor teaching Welsh to Adults, including organising and running short courses.

  • Applied Health Economics for Public Health Practice and Research

    Building on 20 years of our experience in research and teaching health economics to public health practitioners and those undertaking research in public health, we offer this two-day free online short course showcasing our research portfolio at the Public Health and Prevention Economics Research Group (PHERG) at the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation (CHEME). Through recorded presentations and live breakout rooms with you, the delegates, and our faculty of researchers at PHERG CHEME, we will be asking and discussing collaboratively:

    What additional challenges does applying methods of economic evaluation to public health and prevention initiatives within and outside of traditional health care systems pose and how can we address them?

    What methods are we, as health economists, using (diversifying our portfolio) to address these challenges and add to the evidence base of the relative cost-effectiveness and social value of public health and prevention interventions across sectors and across the life-course?

    How can such interventions be paid for in future and how do these methods relate to overarching policy approaches to sustainability and climate change?

    This short course accompanies the textbook: Edwards, R. T., & McIntosh, E. (Eds.). (2019). Applied health economics for public health practice and research. Oxford University Press.
