More ExpertsNicholas (Nick) Fahy (he/him) is the research group director for health and well-being at RAND Europe, where he oversees research in such areas as health systems and health care innovation, workplace well-being, and the behavioural and social determinants of health and well-being.
Fahy joined RAND Europe from the University of Oxford, where he was a senior researcher in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, and he remains a fellow at Green Templeton College. As a researcher and consultant in health policy and systems, he looked at how health systems work; lessons learned by comparing health systems across countries; and how to bring about constructive change in health systems.

This builds on wide-ranging experience in international health policy, including over a decade in the European Commission, most recently as head of the health information unit of the Health and Consumer Protection DG.
Fahy has a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford in evidence-based health care, specifically examining psychological theory and its role in the model of diffusion of innovations in health care, and is a chartered psychologist.
