Martin is an HTA expert and has been an advisor with NDA since 2011. He specialises in the rapidly developing methodology and practice of economic evaluation of health technologies.  Martin applies his expertise to ensure that pharmaceutical companies and device manufacturers are aware of the latest requirements for NICE approval, and can identify the strategies they need to adopt in order to maximise reimbursement opportunities in the UK and in other jurisdictions where cost-effectiveness is a key criterion.

Key Areas Of Expertise
  • More than forty years involvement in the development of economic evaluation
  • Direct involvement in applying economic evaluation to a diverse range of health technologies and methodological development to support such evaluation and to assist in its use in policy.
  • Advisory roles to the UK Department of Health and Social Care, and its agencies.
  • Explaining and teaching health economics at all levels from short courses to PhD supervisions.

He has been a member of: the Technology Appraisal Committee of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (and various of its working groups); the UK National Screening Committee, and several UK and international expert panels. He is currently one of the panel of experts used by NICE’s Scientific Advice Programme.
