Angela's research interests are around the use of health economics in public health evaluation and commissioning. Angela has published widely in this area as well as leading and contributing to a number of national funded research council, Department of Health, and NIHR research grants. Angela’s recent funding successes represent innovative developments in health economic methodological research in ‘realist economic evaluation’, working in collaboration with realist methodologists to conduct initial research to study the feasibility of developing realist economic evaluation methods within a range of applied complex evaluations (including Parkinson’s UK, National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA), Foundation of Light, and Marie Curie). This research represents a growing area of methodological development and expertise in both health economics and realist evaluation, appeals to policy makers, and is gaining traction with research funders. Furthermore, Angela’s research in the area of public health evaluation seeks to integrate and study the application of boarder social measures of benefits and outcomes such as Social Return on Investments (SROI) and Social Network Analysis.  Currently funded research:
