Mae Eifiona yn Uwch Gymrawd Ymchwil mewn Ffarmacoeconomeg yn y Ganolfan Economeg Iechyd a Gwerthuso Meddyginiaethau (CHEME) ym Mhrifysgol Bangor. Mae ganddi radd Baglor mewn Fferylliaeth o Sefydliad Gwyddoniaeth a Thechnoleg Prifysgol Cymru, Caerdydd (1992) ac yn 2005 cwblhaodd radd Meistr mewn Economeg a Rheolaeth Iechyd ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield.

Ar ôl graddio o Gaerdydd, treuliodd Eifiona 8 mlynedd fel fferyllydd ysbyty yn arbenigo mewn oncoleg, darparu gwasanaethau clinigol, cyllid a chymorth busnes yn y DU ac yn Awstralia. Yn dilyn ymlaen o hyn, dilynodd Eifiona yrfa mewn economeg iechyd yn y diwydiant fferyllol ac yn yr amgylchedd ymgynghori, gan weithio ar ystod eang o brosiectau gan gynnwys datblygu ac addasu modelau economaidd iechyd, modelau effaith cyllideb, astudiaethau cost salwch, cyflwyniadau HTA, cyffuriau amddifad (orphan drugs) a dadansoddiadau amgylcheddol.

Mae hi'n brofiadol mewn amrywiaeth o feysydd therapi gan gynnwys oncoleg, niwroleg, anadlu, ffrwythlondeb ac iechyd meddwl. Mae gan Eifiona brofiad eang hefyd o ddatblygu gwerth cyfathrebu, llawysgrifau a phosteri, ac mae wedi cyd-awduro papurau a adolygwyd gan gymheiriaid mewn economeg iechyd.

Ymunodd Eifiona â CHEME yn 2015, ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n gweithio ar ystod o brosiectau ffarmaco-economaidd, gan gynnwys treial NERVES (sciatica), astudiaeth CF Start (ffibrosis systig) a'r astudiaeth CASTLE (plant gyda epilepsi) . Mae hi hefyd yn cynnal adolygiad cymheiriaid o gyflwyniadau Grŵp Strategaeth Meddyginiaethau Cymru Gyfan ac yn darparu cefnogaeth economaidd iechyd i Ganolfan Therapiwteg a Thocsicoleg Cymru Gyfan.

• CASTLE (Changing agendas on sleep, treatment & learning in epilepsy)

  The CASTLE study is focused on rolandic epilepsy, which is the most common type of childhood epilepsy and affects about one-sixth of all children with epilepsy in the UK.

  Throughout the CASTLE study, we’ll be working with children, parents, doctors and nurses to choose the best ways to measure health and quality of life for children with epilepsy. The research will also include talking to parents and children about their experiences in relation to sleep, taking medication, learning and how taking part in the study has impacted on them.

• CF-START (Cystic Fibrosis [CF] anti-staphylococcal antibiotic prophylaxis trial)

  The aim of the CF START trial is determine the safest and most effective way to treat infants diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) with antibiotics. At the moment infants in the UK are prescribed an antibiotic, usually flucloxacillin, every day to prevent infection with a bacteria (bug) called Staphylococcus aureus (SA).

  Although this approach appears to help prevent SA infection, there is a worry that it may make earlier infection with other bugs, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) more likely.

  This trial is designed to test if infants with CF are more likely to get an earlier infection from PsA if they are taking flucloxacillin on a daily basis (“Prevent and Treat”) or Antibiotics in a more targeted manner (“Detect and Treat”).
