Trosolwg

Mae Angela yn ddadansoddwr profiadol o wasanaethau iechyd ac ymchwil canlyniadau ar ôl cwblhau sawl treial a ariannwyd gan y Sefydliad Cenedlaethol dros Ymchwil Iechyd (NIHR). Mae meysydd gwaith allweddol yn cynnwys dadansoddiad o setiau data cenedlaethol ‘byd go iawn’ arferol fel data gofal iechyd sylfaenol ac eilaidd y GIG a gwerthusiad economaidd iechyd o asesiadau technoleg iechyd, treialon clinigol a gwerthusiadau gofal iechyd ehangach.

Mae technegau gwerthuso yn cynnwys dadansoddi cost-effeithiolrwydd;

Cost-ddefnyddioldeb yn seiliedig ar QALY, cost-ganlyniad, o fewn dadansoddiad effaith cyllideb prawf ochr yn ochr â modelu canlyniadau iechyd fel cychwynnu, modelau cyfrifiannell cost ar gyfer dadansoddi effaith cyllideb ar driniaethau newydd ar lefel genedlaethol y DU a modelu penderfyniadau.

Mae prosiectau diweddar wedi cynnwys y canlynol;

Treial rheoledig ar hap gyda'r Uned Llwybrau Briwiau Traed, Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Ysbytai Prifysgol Nottingham- Gwerthuso effeithiolrwydd a chost-effeithiolrwydd castiau sawdl gwydr ffibr ysgafn wrth reoli briwiau'r sawdl mewn diabetes gan ddefnyddio data a gasglwyd yn uniongyrchol o'r garfan cleifion. Prosiect Grant Anghenion Blaenoriaeth Asthma UK - Amcangyfrif amlder, mynychder, defnyddio gofal iechyd, effaith gymdeithasol ehangach a gwir gost asthma yn y DU gan ddefnyddio data arferol y GIG ‘byd go iawn’ o gronfa ddata SAIL. Gwerthusiad aml-ganolfan yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth ag ymchwilwyr ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin a St George’s, Prifysgol Llundain.
