About
Peter McMeekin is a leading health economist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical technologies, particularly in gynaecology and oncology. His most cited work, a prospective multicentre cohort study and economic evaluation comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) with conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for hysterectomy in England, has garnered 9 citations and provides critical evidence on cost-effectiveness and patient quality-of-life outcomes. This study directly informs NHS decision-making on the adoption of high-cost surgical innovations. McMeekin’s broader contributions lie in modelling the long-term economic impact of surgical interventions, using rigorous trial-based and real-world data to guide resource allocation. His work is notable for bridging clinical effectiveness with health system affordability, making him a key voice in value-based healthcare. By quantifying trade-offs between robotic and standard approaches, McMeekin helps clinicians and policymakers prioritize interventions that maximize patient benefit within constrained budgets. His research continues to shape the evidence base for surgical technology adoption in the UK and beyond.
