Liz Stokes
BSc MSc DPhil
Senior Researcher
Liz’s research interests lie in trial- and modelling-based economic evaluation, and in costing and costing methodology within economic evaluations.
She has worked on many cost-effectiveness analyses alongside randomised controlled trials in areas such as lung cancer surgery and pain relief after major surgery and has used decision modelling to assess the cost-effectiveness of additional tests to guide treatment decisions for several cardiac populations. Liz’s current projects include economic evaluations alongside clinical trials in head and neck cancer, and a modelling study assessing the cost-effectiveness of adding an artificial intelligence component to the reading of CT scans in lung cancer screening.
Liz completed a doctoral thesis at the University of Oxford in 2016 on the costs and cost-effectiveness of transfusion management strategies in cardiac surgery. Liz provides health economic support to NHS Blood and Transplant, and is a Health Economics Adviser for the NIHR Research Support Service Hub delivered by University of Southampton and Partners.
She is actively involved in teaching, and supervision of MSc and DPhil students. Liz is joint Module Lead for Health Economics for the MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology, and co-ordinates the Introduction to Health Economic Evaluation short course.
Liz joined the Economics of Population Health Research Centre (formerly the Health Economics Research Centre) in November 2009, having worked at Keele University (2001-2007) and Liverpool John Moores University (2008-2009) and in this time completed an MSc in Medical Statistics at the University of Leicester.
