About
Kathy Pritchard-Jones is a leading researcher in paediatric oncology, health services research, and the economics of major system change in healthcare. Her work focuses on improving cancer care delivery, particularly for children, and evaluating the costs and impacts of large-scale service reconfigurations. A key contribution is her development of methodologies to cost the implementation of major system change, exemplified by her 2021 case study on reconfigurations of specialist cancer surgery in London, which has garnered 13 citations and provides a framework for including implementation costs in cost-effectiveness analyses. This work addresses a critical gap, as most studies overlook the substantial expenses of planning and repurposing services. Pritchard-Jones’s research has influenced health policy and service design, demonstrating how economic evaluations can guide efficient, high-quality care. Her notable achievements include leadership in the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group and contributions to international trials, underscoring her impact on both clinical practice and health systems. With a career spanning decades, she continues to shape evidence-based improvements in cancer care, making her work essential for students and researchers in health economics and oncology.
