Projects
Current project
The Compelling Case for Prevention project is a collaboration between Deakin University and The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre. It aims to develop a dynamic simulation model to estimate the health and economic burden of preventable disease in Australia and conduct scenario analysis of the expected benefits of reducing the prevalence of risk factors. Apart from the technical advantages of adopting systems thinking and a dynamic simulation approach to modelling, decision-makers who will be using the model are core to the development of the model. This includes a collaborative model building process and creation of a user-friendly interface, allowing partners to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions and scenarios that are relevent to them to inform their policy and investment commitments.
Past projects
At the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in London, Paul led the economic modelling and systematic review of economic evidence for the following clinical guidelines;
- Strategies for the identification and diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia (Familial hypercholesterolaemia: identification and management)
- Active warming methods for the prevention of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (Hypothermia: prevention and management in adults having surgery)
- Strategies for diagnosing coronary artery disease in people with stable chest pain (Chest pain of recent onset: assessment and diagnosis)
- Medicines for the prophylaxis of chronic migraine (Headaches in over 12s: diagnosis and management)
Paul was also Health Economics Lead, responsible for the quality assurance of externally developed guidelines, or led the systematic reviews of economic evidence, for over 20 other clinical guidelines not listed here.
