Ireland has a sizable population of Roma migrants, and there is limited information on their experien…
The role of contextual factors in decision-making by General Practitioners on paediatric referral to the Emergency Department in Ireland
A General Practitioner's (GP) decision to refer a patient to the emergency department (ED) requires consideration of a multitude of factors, and significant variation in GP referral patterns to secondary care has been recorded. This study examines the contextual factors that influence GPs when referring a paediatric patient with potentially self-limiting clinical symptoms to the ED. Utilizing a discrete choice experiment, survey data was collecte…

Stuff you think you can handle as a parent and stuff you can’t’ . Understanding parental health‐seeking behaviour when accessing unscheduled care
BACKGROUND: Unscheduled health care constitutes a significant proportion of health-care utilization. Parental decision making when accessing unscheduled care for their children is multifaceted and must be better understood to inform policy and practice. DESIGN: Nineteen semi-structured interviews and one focus group (n = 4) with parents of children younger than twelve in Ireland were conducted. Participants had accessed unscheduled care for their…
Policy of free GP care for children under 6 years
Universal health coverage (UHC) aims to improve child health. Ireland, the only country in the European Union without universal access to primary care, introduced general practitioner (GP) care at no charge for children aged under six in 2015. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of this policy on attendance at the emergency department (ED). A difference-in-difference (DiD) analysis was applied to visit records of 367,000 paediatric patients at…

This study outlines the impact of COVID-19 on paediatric emergency department (ED) utilisation and assesses the extent of healthcare avoidance during each stage of the public health response strategy. Records from five EDs and one urgent care centre in Ireland, representing approximately 48% of national annual public paediatric ED attendances, are analysed to determine changes in characteristics of attendance during the three month period followi…

The present study sought to understand parents' hesitancy and concerns around accessing healthcare during the pandemic using a cross-sectional survey of parents of children under the age of 16 ( N = 1044) in Ireland. Multinomial and logistic regression analyses were used to determine the factors…

Erasing the Brown Scare
Perhaps paradoxically, events can have effects despite having been "forgotten." Events have, in Erving Goffman's (1981:46) phrase, a referential afterlife, the period in which events can be referred to with the expectation that audiences will understand their relevance and symbolic meaning. When an event has passed this period of shared recollection it still may leave traces, especially if responses to the event have been institutionalized. We ex…
