Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
To start: October 2013
Award:
The IoP is offering one 1+3 (MSc+PhD) full-time award suitable for students from an economics, social sciences, or statistics background. The student will register for an IoP MSc course in the first year before commencing their PhD. A student who already has a relevant MSc can apply for 3 years funding to undertake a PhD only. The awards are funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
Project:
Applications are invited to join one of the UK’s leading health economics units, the Centre for the Economics of Mental and Physical Health (CEMPH), as an MPhil/PhD student to develop a preference-based outcome measure using routinely collected patient-level data.
The specific aims will be to: review the evidence on the appropriateness of current approaches for estimating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in the area of mental health care, map from a routinely collected mental health outcome measure (HoNOS) on to the most widely used QALY measure (EQ5D), generate a new preference-based outcome measure based on the HoNOS, and use the new measure to evaluate routinely provided mental health care in a local health service.
Centre for the Economics of Mental and Physical Health:
CEMPH is part of the Health Service and Population Research Department at the Institute of Psychiatry (King’s College London) and was established in 1993. CEMPH comprises of a team of globally-renowned health economists. Using economic methods and tools, we examine policy and practice questions in a wide range of areas including mental health, stroke, neurology, cancer, diabetes, palliative care and social care. We work closely with academic and clinical colleagues in King’s College London, the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and beyond.
Entry Requirements:
Applicants should have (or be expected to obtain) a 2:1 or 1st class honours degree in a subject relevant to the proposed project. If applicants already possess (or expect to obtain) a research-based MSc degree, a merit or distinction level is required.
