  • Socio-structural and direct health challenges related to illness management among patients with type 2 diabetes in Kenya and Tanzania during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessSally Mtenga, Irene Mashasi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    During COVID-19, people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experienced increased vulnerability, including severe COVID-19 complications, disruptions in diabetes management, and social isolation. These aspects were heightened in many sub-Saharan African countries, such as Kenya and Tanzania, where healthcare systems already face critical challenges in coping with increasing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Little is known about how people with T2D in the…

  • Baseline characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in the PHOENIx community pharmacy multicentre pilot randomised controlled trial

    Open AccessAndrew Mcpherson, Vibhu Paudyal et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2025

    People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are amongst the most marginalised populations in the society. Despite facing extreme health inequalities and poorer outcomes than the general population, they are under-represented in clinical trials. Little is hence known about the physical, mental health and social characteristics of PEH as clinical trial participants. Cross-sectoral complex interventions aiming to mitigate health, wellbeing and wider ineq…

The intervention involved independent prescriber pharmacist from the National Health Service working on outreach in partnership with dedicated workers from Homeless Voluntary Charity or Social Enterprises (HVCSEs) (Pharmacist and thir…

  • Expériences de soins en télésanté lors de la pandémie de Covid-19

    Savannah Dubé, Myreille Bédard et al.ARTICLERecherches sociographiques2025

    La pandémie de COVID-19 a engendré de profonds changements dans les modalités de prestation des soins de santé, notamment l’adoption rapide de la télésanté. Bien que certaines études aient exploré les avantages et les défis liés à la télésanté en contexte de pandémie, peu d’études se sont penchées sur les expériences de soins en télésanté d’individus vivant avec des troubles de santé mentale et des maladies physiques chroniques. Cet article propo…

  • Exploring the workload of informal caregiving in the context of HIV/NCD multimorbidity in South Africa

    Open AccessMyrna Van Pinxteren, Charlotte Slome et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The importance of informal caregiving for chronic illness has been well established in African contexts but is underexplored in the context of HIV/NCD multimorbidity, particularly in South Africa. Building on treatment burden theories that investigate workload in the context of chronic illness, this paper explores how informal caregiving networks impact the capacity of people living with multimorbidity (PLWMM) in low-income settings in urban and …

  • Patient and Public Involvement in Research Evaluating Integrated Care for People Experiencing Homelessness

    Open AccessAndrew Mcpherson, Vibhu Paudyal et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of research on and a limited understanding of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the context of research in homelessness and, in particular, direct involvement of people with lived and living experience of homelessness (PEH) as expert advisors. We aim to report on outcomes and reflections from lived experience advisory panel (LEAP) meetings and PPI activities, held throughout the study lifecycle of a pilot ra…

  • Exploring Public, Practitioner and Policymaker Perspectives of Unhealthy Lifestyle Factors in the Context of Socioeconomic Deprivation

    Open AccessHamish M E Foster, Frances S Mair et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    INTRODUCTION: Unhealthy lifestyle factors, such as smoking, high alcohol intake, poor diet and physical inactivity, are key risk factors for premature mortality. How unhealthy lifestyle factors are viewed in the wider context of socioeconomic deprivation is rarely considered. Understanding key stakeholder views on lifestyle factors in the context of deprivation is critical to intervention development and reducing harm in more deprived populations…

  • The impact of living with multiple long-term conditions (multimorbidity) on everyday life – a qualitative evidence synthesis

    Open AccessEmilia Holland, Kate Matthews et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The impact of living with MLTCs was experienced as a multifaceted and complex workload involving multiple types of work, many of which are reciprocally linked. Much of this work, and the associated impact on people, may not be apparent to healthcare staff, and current health systems and policies are poorly equipped to meet the needs of this growing population. There was a paucity of data from LMICs and insufficient information on how patient char…

  • Epidemiology of multimorbidity in low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAlison J Price, Modou Jobe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    We investigated prevalence and demographic characteristics of adults living with multimorbidity (≥2 long-term conditions) in three low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa, using secondary population-level data from four cohorts; Malawi (urban & rural), The Gambia (rural) and Uganda (rural). Information on; measured hypertension, diabetes and obesity was available in all cohorts; measured hypercholesterolaemia and HIV and self-reported asthma w…

  • Development and piloting of a primary school-based salt reduction programme

    Open AccessNozgechi Phiri, Yvonne Cunningham et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Excess salt intake is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Promoting salt reduction as part of routine school-health programming may be a pragmatic way to address this risk factor early in the life course but has not been tested in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Here we describe the formative work with stakeholders and process evaluation of pilot work to develop a school-based salt reduction programme for children aged 11–14 year…

  • Experiences of multimorbidity in urban and rural Malawi

    Open AccessEdith Chikumbu, Christopher Bunn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

    Multimorbidity (presence of ≥2 long term conditions (LTCs)) is a growing global health challenge, yet we know little about the experiences of those living with multimorbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We therefore explore: 1) experiences of men and women living with multimorbidity in urban and rural Malawi including their experiences of burden of treatment and 2) examine the utility of Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and Bur…

  • Frailty and pre-frailty in middle-aged and older adults and its association with multimorbidity and mortality

    Open AccessPeter Hanlon, Barbara I Nicholl et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Public Health2018

    BACKGROUND: Frailty is associated with older age and multimorbidity (two or more long-term conditions); however, little is known about its prevalence or effects on mortality in younger populations. This paper aims to examine the association between frailty, multimorbidity, specific long-term conditions, and mortality in a middle-aged and older aged population. METHODS: Data were sourced from the UK Biobank. Frailty phenotype was based on five cri…

  • Soft governance, restratification and the 2004 general medical services contract

    Open AccessSuzanne Grant, Adele Ring et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2015Citada por: 3Referencias: 12

    In the UK National Health Service, primary care organisation (PCO) managers have traditionally relied on the soft leadership of general practitioners based on professional self-regulation rather than direct managerial control. The 2004 general medical services contract (nGMS) represented a significant break from this arrangement by introducing new performance management mechanisms for PCO managers to measure and improve general practice work. Thi…

  • Rethinking the patient

    Open AccessC May, Carl R May et al.ARTICLEBMC Health Services Research2014

    BACKGROUND: In this article we outline Burden of Treatment Theory, a new model of the relationship between sick people, their social networks, and healthcare services. Health services face the challenge of growing populations with long-term and life-limiting conditions, they have responded to this by delegating to sick people and their networks routine work aimed at managing symptoms, and at retarding - and sometimes preventing - disease progress…
