Mairi Alexander

Mairi has worked, studied, trained, and taught in the NHS since 2005 across many areas of public and private healthcare, including primary and secondary care.

She qualified and worked as a midwife from 2009. Prior to joining us, Mairi conducted patient safety related research at an NHS teaching hospital in London. She has also held roles in safety research, administration, governance, care-coordination and investigation within the healthcare sector.

Mairi enjoys learning and has continued postgraduate study, including research methods and human factors. She’s currently working towards a master’s degree in Human Factors and Patient Safety.

If our safety recommendations are enacted, she has great hope that there will be meaningful change for NHS patients and staff - substantial change that’s not reliant on the latest checklist, just a protocol update or increased vigilance by staff.
