Research at the Imperial Centre for Patient Safety and Service Quality (CPSSQ) is focused on improving the safety of patients and the quality of services within the NHS.
The CPSSQ has facilities at St Mary’s Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital and Imperial College London. It is a partnership between Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Imperial College London.
We play a key role in establishing studies of safety and quality as a fundamental part of medical research in the UK. Our research has a strong focus on psychology and covers a variety of topics, including:
• Decision-making in healthcare workers
• Patient behaviour
• The design of medical technology
• Education and training
• Organisation and management
