Dr Helen Higham is a Consultant Anaesthetist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and Director of the Oxford Simulation, Teaching and Research Centre (OxSTaR). An academic clinician specialising in patient safety and human factors, her work focuses on how clinicians think, make decisions, and perform in complex, high pressure environments. She also leads teaching on patient safety and human factors within the SSP course. Alongside her clinical and academic roles, Helen’s work explores simulation, decision making, and team performance in healthcare, with a focus on how clinicians learn, communicate, and perform under pressure. I spoke with Helen about decision making in complex environments, the role of teamwork in theatre, and the non technical skills that underpin safe and effective practice.
