Food work and feeding assistance on hospital wards
Approximately 60 per cent of UK patients aged 65 years or older are at risk of malnutrition or their situation worsening while in hospital. We report the results of a qualitative study embedded in research to prevent malnutrition in older people in hospital (the mappmal study). Our aim was to understand and describe processes that promote or inhibit nutrition in hospital. Throughout 2009 we examined meal services at four UK hospital sites across …
The impact of organisational culture on the delivery of person-centred care in services providing respite care and short breaks for people with dementia
Ensuring the development and delivery of person-centred care in services providing respite care and short breaks for people with dementia and their carers has a number of challenges for health and social service providers. This article explores the role of organisational culture in barriers and facilitators to person-centred dementia care. As part of a mixed-methods study of respite care and short breaks for people with dementia and their carers,…
The Uphill Struggle
This article focuses upon the ways in which Deaf and hard of hearing people are excluded from participation in society. In particular, the focus is upon the ordinary expectations that members of society have in terms of participating as citizens and performing socially sanctioned, adult roles. The roles of 'citizen', 'employee', 'parent' and 'patient' are discussed. The data illustrate how the organisation and delivery of services can undermine, …
Defining the outcomes of community care
There is growing recognition of the need for outcome measures which reflect the aims of services for people with dementia. The development and application of existing outcome measures has often marginalised people with dementia. ‘Experts’ and carers have been viewed as primary sources when identifying relevant outcomes or domains of quality of life, and proxy respondents have often been responsible for rating outcomes on the resulting measures. T…
Informal caregiving for frail older people at home and in long-term care institutions
This paper describes the extent of the informal caregiving unit for older people who are physically or mentally frail living in private households or resident in long-term care institutions using cross-sectional analysis of survey data. A total of 1444 people aged 65 years or more registered with a general practitioner (GP) in four areas in England and, consenting to the study, were screened for mental or physical frailty. Of 1127 older subjects …
Costs of formal care for frail older people in England
Mental and physical frailty in older people
The financial, opportunity and social costs and benefits of providing informal support to frail older people are described within an economic framework. Mentally and/or physically frail older people were identified through screening interviews with random community samples of people aged 65 and over in four UK areas: 884 frail older people living in private households nominated key informal supporters and 650 of these supporters were interviewed.…

Social polarization in Britain 1973-82 - evidence from the General Household Survey
Older Workers and the Peripheral Workforce
At a time when the proportion of full-time permanent jobs is decreasing and there is evidence of a growth in ‘peripheral’ forms of work, it is important to review the position of older workers, both men and women. Using data from the Labour Force Survey of 1984, it is shown that, while the employment rate falls sharply in the ten-year period prior to state retirement age, it is only those of post-retirement age who are disproportionately represen…
Temporary Workers
Increases in temporary working and an associated peripheralisation of the workforce have been the subject of a great deal of recent debate. This paper uses nationally representative data from the Labour Force Survey to (1) highlight the importance of clarifying concepts such as 'temporary working' which are not defined by employment legislation and (2) to provide some background information on the social and economic characteristics of 'temporary…
