Profile

Biography

Paul Kind is an Honorary Professor in CHE. His background includes several relevant academic disciplines including economics and psychology, but his work prior to the mid 1970s had been in engineering research and the computer industry. For most of the past 30 years he has been concerned with the development of methods for use in measuring health outcomes, often but not exclusively for application in economic evaluation. He is a founder member and a past-President of the EuroQoL Group which celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2007, and currently chairs its Scientific Executive. Paul has been a Visiting Scientist at McGill University, Montreal and a Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and has acted as a coordinator of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Quality of Life Special Interest Group. He is an Honorary Fellow at the Multinational Quality of Life Centre, St Petersburg and is currently Visiting Professor in the Department of Pharmacy, University of Uppsala. He has served as an elected Board Member of the International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL). Paul provides expert opinion on all aspects of the measurement of health outcomes for a range of organisations in the UK and internationally.
