Professional background
I am a Consultant Anaesthetist at Frimley Health. I did my anaesthetic training in London and worked for 2 years after finishing my training at the Children's Hospital and University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington as an Attending Anaesthesiologist.
Research interests
I have an interest in patient safety and in particular Human Factors and non technical skills. These particular skills are being increasingly recognised as being very important in improving patient safety. Many of the principle's that we use teaching Human Factors in Healthcare were learnt from the aviation industry who have understood their value in improving aviation safety for over 50 years.
I am a Terema Human Factors trainer, Airway lead at Wexham Park Hospital, WHO surgical safety checklist champion and Advanced Life Support instructor.
