Lucy Ambrose is a GP and also works in clinical skills. Before coming to Keele she worked as Associate Director of Skills at Dundee and as an Assisstant Clinical Professor in clinical systems improvement and patient safety at Warwick Medical School. Her research interests include patient safety, human factors and error in skills performance. She has recently completed her MD at Dundee.

Lucy’s MD focussed on reflection as an individual factor that influences learning and behaviours in patient safety. She is currently using direct observation to explore video reflexivity in procedural skills and direct observation in the measurement of error behaviour in skills performance.
