Niall Downey
Surgeon-Turned-Pilot | Author of 'Oops! Why Things Go Wrong' | Safety Systems Pioneer

About
Niall Downey trained as a cardio-thoracic surgeon, then became a commercial airline pilot. He noticed something troubling: both fields are life-or-death, but only aviation had robust safety systems.
So he founded Framework Safety Group to bring aviation's error-prevention methods to healthcare and other industries. His book 'Oops!
Why Things Go Wrong' breaks down why smart people make preventable mistakes. Organizations book Niall to learn the frameworks that keep planes in the sky—and how to apply them anywhere.
