I’m a Consultant Anaesthetist with a career spanning over two decades in the NHS and independent healthcare. Alongside my clinical work in high-complexity anaesthesia, I specialise in patient safety, human factors, and the behaviours that shape how teams perform under pressure.
Keenly motivated by patient safety, my experience enables me to support individuals and teams (especially in the aftermath of safety failures) by helping them make sense of what happened, reconnect with purpose, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Much of my work centres on psychological safety and the human behaviours that shape how we respond to uncertainty, failure, and risk. I’ve seen how fear, blame, and silence can erode trust and learning after an adverse event and, how crucial it is to create spaces where people feel safe enough to reflect, speak openly, and be heard.
Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment is a revelation in supporting individuals and teams through these moments. It’s a structured yet human approach that allows people time to think for themselves, in the presence of someone who is truly listening. This shift, from reaction to reflection, can be transformational.
In addition to my clinical and safety leadership roles, I teach human factors, team behaviours, and psychological safety across healthcare and other safety-critical sectors and founded Ren Think Ltd in 2025.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical. I believe that how we treat each other, especially after something goes wrong, is the real test of a safety culture. And that when we create space to think, we create space to heal, learn, lead and live better together.
