Professor Whynes has researched in a wide variety of health care fields, including the economic analysis of primary care, services for the deaf and maternity care. The economic aspects of cancer and screening have been an abiding interest over two decades. Professor Whynes has been the principal economic investigator for two national colorectal cancer screening trials and for the UK trial of managing abnormalities detected during routine cervical cancer screening. He was the principal economist for the UK lung cancer screening trial and for a national trial of breast cancer management. In all these trials, his specific contributions included cost and outcome measurement, economic modelling and the analysis of the behaviour of screening subjects. His interest in methodological aspects of health technology assessment centred on the measurement of preferences and contingent valuation.
