Darrin Baines – Health Economist, Researcher, and Educator

I am a British health economist focused on improving how health economics is taught, practiced, and applied to real-world challenges. I’ve held professorships at Coventry, Bournemouth, and Lincoln; earlier roles include senior academic positions at Birmingham and Nottingham and research fellowships at Derby, Warwick, and King’s College London.

I founded HealthEconomics.Pro, Analytics.Systems and IntelligentParameters.com to bridge academic knowledge and applied practice using Semantic Web / Web 3.0, knowledge graphs, and simulation modelling.

As an educator, I established three master’s programmes in Health Economics (Birmingham, South Wales, Cairo) and built international knowledge networks in China and Egypt funded by the British Council and GSK.

My research spans health systems, prescribing policy, and NHS productivity—150+ papers, 1,400+ citations, with highly cited work on misinformation/disinformation/malinformation (200+ citations).
