Dr. Brendan McElroy's research interests are in health economics, particularly financing primary and secondary care and economic evaluation of health technologies. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Guideline Development at HIQA. His recent work on health care financing include research on changes to the Irish system of hospital financing, and risk-adjustment in primary care. He is interested in financing and delivery of health care systems in developing countries, having worked on the demand for prevention and treatment of malaria in Africa. His recent work on economic evaluation of health technologies includes an examination of the treatment of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and users’ preferences for delivery of maternity care in Ireland.

His teaching interests are in health economics and research methods. He has lectured at undergrad level to BA, BSc(Nursing) and BSc(Public Health) and at postgrad level to MSc Health Economics and Postgraduate Diploma (Health Economics Practice) students. He has supervised several Masters theses and one PhD thesis. He has taught research methods courses at BA and MA level.
