About
David Shackley is a health services researcher whose work centers on the economic evaluation of major system change (MSC) in healthcare, with a particular focus on the implementation costs of reconfiguring specialist services. His key research areas include health economics, cost-effectiveness analysis, and the practical challenges of translating large-scale healthcare reorganizations into measurable value. Shackley’s major contribution lies in developing methodologies to cost the implementation of MSC, addressing a critical gap in the literature—most studies assess outcomes but ignore the substantial upfront costs of planning, purchasing, or repurposing infrastructure. His 2021 case study on reconfiguring specialist cancer surgery in London, England, which has garnered 13 citations, exemplifies this work by providing a replicable framework for economic evaluations. This research has implications for policymakers and health system leaders seeking to balance clinical benefits with financial sustainability. Shackley’s work is notable for its practical focus, bridging the divide between theoretical health economics and real-world system change, making him a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the economics of healthcare transformation.
