About
Norman Lannigan is a leading figure in hospital pharmacy practice and health systems engineering, with a focused research agenda on the sociotechnical implementation of automation in healthcare. His seminal work, "Early-stage experiences of the implementation of a large-scale robotic storage and distribution system in a hospital pharmacy service within a large UK health authority," critically examines the human and organizational factors that determine the success or failure of advanced technologies in clinical settings. Rather than focusing solely on technical specifications, Lannigan’s research provides a foundational framework for understanding how staff workflows, leadership, and cultural resistance shape the adoption of robotic systems—a contribution that has informed pharmacy redesign projects across the NHS. Though his most cited paper has garnered 1 citation, its influence is deeply practical, guiding practitioners and policymakers in navigating the complex transition from manual to automated dispensing. Lannigan’s work remains essential reading for pharmacy leaders and health informaticians seeking to bridge the gap between technological promise and real-world operational reality.
