I am an American who worked for the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in London. I received my MPH from the University of Dundee, and I am finishing a PhD Studentship/Graduate Teaching Assistant position at Edge Hill University. My PhD research focussed on exploring the staff perceptions of patient safety in three Ambulance Service NHS Trusts in England. I have recently accepted a Postdoctoral Research Associate position at the University of Oxford, where I work within the Risk & Safety Group in the Department of Experimental Psychology.
