Following an appointment as Economic Adviser at Grampian Health Board, she joined HERU in 1983. Since then she has been involved in a range of research activities and in consultancy work. Her current research interests are focussed around the use of economics in health improvement, with a particular interest in alcohol, obesity and smoking.
