Biography:
With a background in cognitive psychology, Angus has researched aspects of health provision since 2001 as a research fellow at University College London and, more recently, the Royal College of Psychiatrists. His work has focused increasingly on how we might measure and improve service quality. In particular, he is interested in how efforts to bring about improvement interact with contextual factors.
In his current position, as research associate at PSSQ, Angus is looking at how organisational governance influences aspects of patient safety, e.g. medication errors and Healthcare Acquired Infections.
