Patient Safety by Charles Vincent
Patient safety is of fundamental importance to all healthcare systems. Errors are common and patients are frequently harmed. Doctors, nurses, healthcare managers, policy makers and governments across the world are now working to improve the safety of healthcare. This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of this rapidly developing field. The book takes an international perspective citing research and practice from the UK, US, Europe, Australasia and other countries. The book will be valuable for clinical staff who want to understand patient safety and make their own unit safer; patient safety managers, risk managers, medical directors; policy makers seeking to understand the risks posed by their healthcare systems; students and doctors and nurses in training.

He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2007, and then to Professor in 2013. He also served one term as a Director of the School of Biology and Ecology.
Dr. Alyokhin is interested in applied insect ecology, behavior, evolution of insecticide resistance, and integrated pest management. He is working mostly in potato agroecosystems, although recently he also started looking at insect mediated recycling of organic wastes. Dr. Alyokhin has authored or co-authored 153 publications, including 65 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals. He also taught or co-taught Insect Ecology, Pesticides and the Environment, Biological Invasions, Introductory Applied Entomology, Advanced Insect Pest Ecology and Management, Capstone Experience in Biological Sciences, and Professionalism in Biology. In addition, Dr. Alyokhin maintains an extensive outreach program to a variety of stakeholders, including potato growers, other crop production professionals, natural resource managers, K-12 students, and members of the general public. He is a recipient of several professional awards from National Association of County Agricultural Agents, Aroostook County Extension Association, College of Natural Sciences, Food, and Agriculture at the University of Maine, and the U.S. National Park Service.
