Suicide prevention • Adverse event tracking • Diversity in mental health research
Combining clinical and public health backgrounds gives us a clear perspective on what’s needed to understand and improve health services. We’ve been involved in projects ranging from plastic surgery outcomes to electroconvulsive therapy regulatory review and can quickly use our skills to address a variety of problems.
