I am Professor of Healthcare Ergonomics & Patient Safety and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (FCIEHF), Certified European Ergonomist (Eur.Erg) and Chartered Physiotherapist (MCSP).
I have a clinical background and worked as a medical scientist, physiotherapist and professional Ergonomist for over 20 years in UK, Australia and New Zealand before joining Loughborough University in 2002.
My interests focus on optimizing human well-being and overall system performance by understanding and designing interactions in health and social care systems. This has included work on wide range of Human Factors (Ergonomics) issues including hospital and ambulance design, emergency response, medical device evaluation, staff well-being and patient safety (e.g. mobility and falls)
I am co-lead for the Human Factors & Ergonomics HUB (with Dr Thomas Jun and Dr Mike Fray). We offer accredited Human Factors/Ergonomics short courses to health & social care staff to look at safety challenges and design solutions that can be embedded in the complex healthcare systems
