| Measurement and monitoring |
| In an innovative interdisciplinary collaboration, this will be co-supervised by Professors Peter Diggle from the Department of Medicine and Mike Pidd in Management Science, both at Lancaster University. We will have two PhD students in this programme. The first, Lisha Deng, started in October 2007 and will work on the statistical aspects of time and spatial series analysis of adverse incident data. The second is due to join the Unit in September 2008 and will work more on the organisational aspects of how performance data relating to safety are conceptualised, collected and interpreted at an organisational level. |
