Current research interests

Clinical decision making and improving diagnosis. Human factors in Critical Care. The aim of my teaching and educational endeavours is to improve clinical care by enabling health care providers to apply knowledge and skills in an integrated approach to patients, by minimising adverse events and improving clinical human factors and critical clinical decision making. I am developing a research approach based on qualitative methods to examine how our educational interventions actually impact on patient outcomes, clinical and caring.
