The Same, Only Different
The aim of this article is to elucidate how male and female managers of small-scale enterprises in Norway and Sweden relate to and experience the intersection between work and private life. A qualitative content analysis was adopted to explore interviews with 18 managers. The analysis resulted in three primary categories: conflict as a part of the deal, using management to construct balance, and management identity contributing to enrichment. A k…
The disciplining of self-help
We explore how Norwegian self-help groups are defined and managed to create a particular form of health system governmentality. Self-help groups are typically framed as therapeutic communities where participants define the agenda creating a space where open and equal interaction can produce individual learning and personal growth. In Norway, however, self-help groups are managed in a way that integrates them in to the health system but insulates …
Who wants to be involved in health care decisions? Comparing preferences for individual and collective involvement in England and Sweden
An effective health system that ensures public health must integrate an effective approach to PPI both in individual treatment decisions and shaping local health and social care priorities. To be effective, involvement activities must take in to account the variation in the desire for involvement and the implications that this has for equity. More work is needed to understand the relationship between the desire to be involved and actually being i…
Disentangling patient and public involvement in healthcare decisions
Patient and public involvement has become an integral aspect of many developed health systems and is judged to be an essential driver for reform. However, little attention has been paid to the distinctions between patients and the public, and the views of patients are often seen to encompass those of the general public. Using an ideal-type approach, we analyse crucial distinctions between patient involvement and public involvement using examples …

‘Exchanging knowledge on participation by EU health consumers and patients in research, quality and policy
A recent review by Bob Keizer for the Netherland Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) concluded that across Europe, different organizations in different domains are working on the participation of patients and health consumers1. Despite these diverse activities, there is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness on participation, lack of clarity on the definition of participation and a lack of support for patient organizations. …
Undermining patient and public engagement and limiting its impact
Patient and public involvement has been at the heart of UK health policy for more than two decades. This commitment to putting patients at the heart of the British National Health Service (NHS) has become a central principle helping to ensure equity, patient safety and effectiveness in the health system. The recent Health and Social Care Act 2012 is the most significant reform of the NHS since its foundation in 1948. More radically, this legislat…
Introducing this issue
This issue includes a range of articles at the heart of the Journal's agenda. The articles in this issue explore how people can be involved in shaping and undertaking research, different ways of communicating information and support, the evaluation of patient information leaflets, conceptualizing patient safety in hospitals from a patient perspective and the key elements of patient-centred stroke care. People make conscious decisions about health…
Public and patient participation in health care and health policy in the United Kingdom
Since 1948, the United Kingdom (UK) has operated a National Health Service funded primarily through public taxation where health services are available based on need and free at the point of delivery with limited out-of-pocket copayment. Other European predominantly public taxation funded systems operate, for example, in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Italy. Domestic policy decisions have been devolved from London and England to Wales, Scotland and…
Looking forward – from Jonathan
This issue of Health Expectations marks my transition from Associate Editor to Editor-in-Chief. I have spent 2 years working with Vikki Entwistle and the Editorial team learning the ropes, clarifying the scope of the journal and identifying the gaps in the evidence base. I am the third Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and recognise the labour that both Angela Coulter and Vikki Entwistle have undertaken to create and build its reputation and impact.…
Revolution or evolution
Background Changing the relationship between citizens and the state is at the heart of current policy reforms. Across England and the developed world, from Oslo to Ontario, Newcastle to Newquay, giving the public a more direct say in shaping the organization and delivery of healthcare services is central to the current health reform agenda. Realigning public services around those they serve, based on evidence from service user’s experiences, and …
Bridging divides
Bridging divides: patient and public involvement on both sides of the Atlantic This themed section grew out of a series of three British-American medical sociology conferences, the most recent of which was convened in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2008.The two previous meetings took place in the UK: the first at Royal Holloway College, London University in 1999, and the second at the University of Edinburgh in 2006.This series of small residential me…

Focus group method and methodology
This paper considers the contemporary use of focus groups as a method of data collection within qualitative research settings. The authors draw upon their own experiences of using focus groups in educational and ‘community’ user‐group environments in order to provide an overview of recent issues and debates surrounding the deployment of focus group methods and to pick out specific areas of contention in relation to both their epistemological and …
Listen to my madness
This article explores the salience of disability theory for understanding the experiences of people with serious mental illness. Drawing on data from a focus group study, we suggest that users experience both impairment (as embodied irrationality) which can, in itself, be oppressive, and also have to manage their lives within a largely disabling society. We outline some of the strategies adopted by users to manage their situation and ensure they …
Developing user involvement in a UK cancer network
This paper explores the results of a consensus development exercise that explored diverse perspectives and sought to identify key principles for the development of user involvement in a cancer network. The exercise took place within one of 34 UK cancer networks and was a collaboration between the NHS, two universities and two voluntary sector organizations. The paper explores professionals’ and users’ perspectives on user involvement with referen…
Divided care and the Third Way
In health care, as in much of the public sphere, the voluntary sector is playing an increasingly large role in the funding, provision and delivery of services and nowhere is this more apparent than in cancer care. Simultaneously the growth of privatisation, marketisation and consumerism has engendered a rise in the promotion of 'user involvement' in health care. These changes in the organisation and delivery of health care, in part inspired by th…
The Sociology of Health and Illness at the Turn of the Century
A 'think piece' in both style and content, this article offers some thoughts and reflections on selected themes and issues which, we believe, provide some important indicators not simply of the sociology of health and illness' current status, but also of its future prospects. Four key themes have been chosen: (i) social inequalities in health; (ii) emotions and embodiment; (iii) (bio)technology, and finally; (iv) the shifting configuration of hea…
Pathways, Pyramids and Icebergs? Mapping the Links Between Dissatisfaction and Complaints
In this article the authors report the findings of a study of satisfaction, dissatisfaction and complaining, funded by the National Health Service Executive (NHSE). Although interest in these issues has increased with the introduction of the Citizen's Charter Initiative and the continued growth of consumerism, few scholars have looked at the relationships between them. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction are commonly viewed as different facets of th…
Encountering England
In responding to friction with mainstream society, minority groups follow a number of strategies ranging from accommodation to confrontation. This article examines the interaction between contemporary British society and two non‐Christian religions, the Anglo‐Jewish community and Sahaja Yoga. It notes that while these two groups are utterly different in most other respects, they pursue a similar strategy of adopting a low profile in relation to t…
