Professor Brad Manktelow

Brad Manktelow, Professor of Medical Statistics, researches the use of data for quality improvement and quality assurance in healthcare. He is particularly interested in the statistical issues arising from analysis of data in perinatal, neonatal and paediatric medicine.

He is a co-investigator for MBRRACE-UK - the national collaborative programme of work involving the surveillance and investigation of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and maternal deaths - and supervises the analysis of data for the UK's national perinatal mortality surveillance report.

My current research interest centres on the use and development of statistical methods for quality improvement and quality assurance in healthcare. I am also interested in the statistical issues arising from research in perinatal, neonatal, and paediatric medicine.

I am a co-investigator for MBRRACE-UK, the national collaborative programme of work undertaking the surveillance and investigation of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and maternal deaths in the UK. As the lead statistician for MBRRACE-UK, I supervise the analysis of data for the UK's national perinatal mortality surveillance report.

I am interested to hear from prospective PhD students interested in projects investigating the development and application of statistical methods to patient safety and quality improvement in healthcare.

I am Programme Director of the Quality and Safety in Healthcare programme at the University of Leicester. The courses within this postgraduate programme cover both the theoretical and the practical aspects of healthcare quality improvement and patient safety.

I currently lead, or teach on, the following postgraduate modules: Quality and Quality Improvement in Healthcare; Quantitative Methods for Quality and Safety in Healthcare; Measuring and Monitoring in Healthcare; Dissertation.
