Professor Timothy Draycott is a Consultant Obstetrician with a research interest in patient safety, quality improvement and multi-professional obstetric training.

Over the last 15 years he has led the development of a completely new academic department in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at North Bristol that is now recognised as a major international intrapartum and safety research centre – currently with 49 research team members.

He has expanded a research portfolio, successfully securing almost £4 million research funding in the last decade, leading large multi-centre NIHR portfolio randomised controlled trials (IMOX study – 6285 women) as well as leading national level studies with innovative trial designs – THISTLE study in Scotland.

With Cathy Winter, he leads the team who developed the PROMPT training programme that has been successfully implemented in over 45 countries across the world and has developed and evaluated an undergraduate PROMPT programme and also a pre-hospital programme. This work was recognised as 4* for impact by the most recent University Research Excellence Framework and the Queen’s Anniversary Award in 2014.
