Sue has an extensive portfolio of applied research concerning trial and model-based economic evaluations in chronic diseases. Sue oversees all health economics research within studies undertaken by the Primary Care Centre Versus Arthritis at Keele University, as part of a formal collaboration between the HEU and Keele. She also collaborates on a large number of projects at the University of Birmingham and is the health economics lead and co-investigator on over 20 major grants, the majority funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment and Programme Grant for Applied Research funding streams. Sue is also involved in NERC-funded WM-AIR programme of work on air pollution in the West Midlands, and is leading the economic component of the health strand. Whilst most of her work has a UK focus, more recent work has considered chronic disease detection and management in LMICs.
