Biography
Alicia is a PhD student and part time Research Fellow at the Centre for the Health Economy (MUCHE), focusing on health technology assessment. Prior to joining MUCHE, Alicia worked in pharmaceutical consulting as a health economist and the medical devices industry as a healthcare economics and reimbursement analyst and regulatory operations specialist. Alicia has nine years’ experience in presenting and evaluating clinical and economic evidence for medicines, medical services, and medical devices. Alicia’s expertise is in economic modelling and budget impact assessment.
In addition to her health technology assessment work, Alicia is conducting applied research in the economic evaluation of mental health interventions, hospital models of care, and precision medicine. Her PhD is exploring the role of patient preferences and outcome risks when seeking to allocate patients into, and pay for, value based psychological care.
