About
Bryony Dean Franklin is a leading figure in patient safety and health informatics, whose research has fundamentally shaped how medications are managed and how health systems learn from data. Her work centers on the safe and efficient use of medicines, particularly through the evaluation of health information technology. She is renowned for demonstrating how automated dispensing systems and discrete event simulation can transform hospital pharmacy workflows, reducing errors and improving efficiency. Her landmark 2021 paper on health information technology for national learning health and care systems, which has garnered over 369 citations, provides a visionary framework for using data-enabled infrastructure to drive continuous improvement in policy, public health, and personalised care—a framework that proved especially prescient during the COVID-19 pandemic. With foundational studies on automated dispensing machines and simulation-based pharmacy redesign, her research has directly influenced NHS practice and international standards. A Professor at University College London and a key figure at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Franklin’s work bridges rigorous academic evaluation with real-world impact, making her a pivotal voice in the quest for safer, smarter healthcare systems.
