Latest fellow

A professional economist and physician by training, Professor Alan Garber is Provost of Harvard University and former Henry J. Kaiser Jr. Professor at Stanford University, where he was also Professor of Medicine and a Professor of Economics and of Health Research and Policy, and directed the Center for Health Policy and the Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research.

For his fellowship, Professor Garber studied incentives to improve clinical and organisational performance in the NHS, particularly in the area of integrated care.  His work, published in the Nuffield Trust Viewpoint: Competition, integration and incentives: the quest for efficiency in the English NHS (December 2011), provides an expert view on the question of how best to balance incentives to promote innovation in the NHS.
