Dr Elizabeth Goodwin (She, her, hers)

Liz is a Research Fellow in Health Economics with expertise in outcomes measurement, preference elicitation methods, within-trial economic evaluation, and the development of research funding applications in health and social care. She has particular interests in the relevance and responsiveness of preference-based measures of health and wellbeing, and in the health economics of multiple sclerosis. Her current work primarily involves the economic evaluation of complex interventions, with a particular focus on the health and wellbeing benefits of active engagement with heritage activities and places. 

Prior to her academic career, Liz held a series of roles in Plymouth City Council’s housing and social care departments, encompassing homelessness and housing advice, development of carers support services, IT project implementation and performance management. She made the switch to Health Economics in 2008 by taking on a trainee position as a Health Economist with NHS Plymouth, before moving to the Health Economics Group in Exeter to begin her PhD in 2011. Having worked as a commissioner for the NHS, Liz retains an interest in the ways that decisions are made regarding the allocation of healthcare resources at a local level.
