"I work closely with the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art, the Imperial Business School and several commercial companies on the Designing Out Medical Errors (DOME) project. Together, we represent the Department of Health & Design Council's, Design for Patient Safety report guidelines that recommended multidisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, designers and manufacturers to successfully translate innovative evidence-based patient safety research & development into clinical practice. I am involved in other similar projects addressing the safety of nasogastric tubes and implementation and evaluation of medical devices that aim to improve patients safety. I am grateful to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Scottish Enterprise, Imperial College Healthcare Charity and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) who have kindly provided me with their support."
Oliver Anderson is completing a PhD in design for patient safety. Oliver studied medicine and completed a BSc in neuroscience at University College London, a MSc in surgical practice at the University of Kent and is now a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a numbered general surgical registrar in the London Deanery. Oliver is supervised by Prof. George B Hanna and Prof. Charles A Vincent working in The Clinical Safety Research Unit (CSRU) part of the Centre for Patient Safety and Service Quality (CPSSQ) within the Department of Surgery and Cancer at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
