  National patient safety agency

  Apr 2008 - Mar 2012

  Information analyst

  I worked as a healthcare information analyst at the National Patient Safety Agency. This role ensures that I am constantly applying methods in biostatistics and applied epidemiology to the largest longituidinal dataset of medical errors in the world so that useful clinical outputs can be produced. Specifically, my role is to provide data extracts and analysis from the National Reporting and Learning on specific clinical and patient safety topics, e.g. I produce bi-annual patient safety profiles on all NHS institutions in England and Wales. These profiles provide the public with a snapshot of patient safety indicators (reporting rate, type of incident and harm) within their local NHS trust and shows how well it compares with its peers. I have also been actively working with clinicians since 2008 by participating in research within the patient safety area and publishing any learning gained from it, e.g. I have worked with clinicians to identify and delineate the causes of iatrogenic harm associated with equipment used during laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure in hospitals. All these roles are directly relevant to improving the safety and therefore health of patients in the long run. Show less
