Profile

Biography

Ed is Director of Advanced Analysis in NHS England. He is a graduate from University of York (BSc), University of Warwick (MSc) and University College London (PhD) in Economics. Since then he’s worked in Health Economics across the private sector, regulation and the NHS focusing on econometrics and policy analysis, for instance estimating the efficiency potential to set within the NHS national tariff and leading analysis on the drivers of A&E waits to drive policy. 

He has had roles leading, developing and overseeing the underlying analytical input to the Long Term Plan, People Plan and 10 Year Health Plan. During the Covid epidemic he was deployed to the NHS response delivering novel work on forecasting, epidemiological modelling and demand and capacity management. This has led to a particular interest in how we model the production of NHS services and align to appropriate models of projected demand, and further how this relates to analyses of productive and allocative efficiency.
