Nick is a researcher and consultant in health policy and systems, looking at how health systems work; what can be
learned by comparing health systems across countries; and how to bring about constructive change in health systems. Nick’s
background is in international health policy, including over a decade in the European Commission, most recently as head of unit
for health information – a short title for a unit which covered a lot of topics, including generating and mobilising information,
data and knowledge for European health policy; leading European policy on major, rare and non-communicable diseases; and
some other issues such as e-health. This currently leads to his work on the health impact of Brexit, as well as wider health
policy.
