National Clinical Advisor, NHS England and Improvement; England

I am the National Clinical Advisor on Safety Culture to the National Safety Improvement Programmes which aim to create continuous and sustainable improvement in settings such as maternity units, emergency departments, mental health trusts, GP practices and care homes.

I have worked in the fields of patient safety, quality and culture for 15 years and supported the use of safety culture tools to positively shift team culture across acute hospitals, primary care, mental health and nursing homes. I am a Consultant Anaesthetist in University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, and I work closely with the Organisational Development team to craft and nurture the conditions where teams and individuals can flourish in the delivery of great care. I am a Health Foundation Generation Q Fellow.
