Biography
Pippa is Principal Teaching Fellow and Insititute Postgraduate Tutor (taught) at the Centre for Health Informatics and Multiprofessional Education, IHI.
She initially studied psychology at Leeds University, before researching first speech dysfluency and then medical accidents in the Department of Psychology, UCL. She also acheived a postgraduate diploma in the legal aspects of Clinical Risk Management. Having worked with Prof Charles Vincent at the Clinical Risk Unit for North Thames Region, she developed training programmes for healthcare staff in risk management. These training programmes became the foundation for the risk management postgraduate programme which was established at CHIME, UCL in 1998 and is now a specialist module in the masters informatics programme.
Her past research work focussed on the psychological issues in patient
safety and included topics such as patients' and clinicians' attitudes to complaints,
the clinician's need for support in litigation, the causes and consequences of
junior doctors' mistakes and obstetrics cases analysis.
In addition to her teaching and research work, she was a lay assessor for the General Chiropractic Council.
