Louise Pye

Louise Pye is Head of Family Engagement, Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB). HSIB’s purpose is to conduct independent investigations of patient safety concerns in NHS-funded care across England. Before she joined HSIB, Lou served as an officer in the police force for 30 years, where she specialised for 20 years in the field of family liaison. She also managed a team of these specially trained officers who worked with families following mass fatality incidents.  Lou was recognised for her work in the Queens New Year Honours (2017).
