Peter is an anaesthetist.
He recently retired after 25 years as a consultant at Oxford, where he developed an almost messianic belief in the power of Human Factors science to improve the safety and efficiency of healthcare.
He is a writer and campaigner, particularly on the issue of medication error in anaesthesia, and has taught Human Factors to a wide range of healthcare workers over many years.
He has several television screenwriting credits to his name, and looks forward to the day that real hospitals achieve the level of reliability so often depicted in fictional ones.
