Thank you for helping me remember a nightmare I wanted to forget’
Intensive Care Units (ICUs) became key end-of-life spaces during the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK. Many nurses were redeployed to ICU from other specialities, navigating changing roles, priorities, and risks. Limited resources including time, equipment, and staffing widened nurses’ responsibilities; the virus’ infectious nature restricted family visits, even at end of life. Emerging literature explores ICU deaths during Covid-19, but little focuse…
Making history together
Only since the 2010s have historians become interested in dimensions of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) histories beyond institutional, policy, and political narratives and the seventieth anniversary of the Service in 2018 gave additional impetus to work in this area. This paper argues for the need for a new interpretative framework for NHS histories that better reflects its multiple identities and social meanings. Drawing on a UK-wide pro…

Adding the past to the policy mix
Historical perspectives can be embedded into policy initiatives through a process of ‘past-proofing’—ensuring new policies take the study of the past into consideration. We describe how this was done in a project looking at patient access to general practice in the NHS. We argue that current preoccupations with timeliness which have led to the marginalisation of other dimensions of access are connected to a broader process of neo-liberal reform s…
Why We Should Try to Get the Joke
This paper advances two central arguments. The first is that focusing on humor and laughter can play a central part in enhancing our understanding of the contemporary history of healthcare. The second is that the value of the meaning contained in humor and laughter has thus far been underestimated in the field of oral history. Our discussion of these issues is grounded in an analysis of oral history testimony and documents gathered in the course …

Migration and danger
Ethnicity and health are contested terms that are difficult to define, arising from a moment in the development of public health where difference – both constructed and embodied – was recognised to
Health and Greater Manchester in Historical Perspective
This article maps the history of health organisation across Greater Manchester (GM), primarily since the Second World War, to show how against a continuing backdrop of health inequalities, services have been driven (and constrained) by the needs and the politics of each period. Defining 'success' as benefits for patients the article identifies examples such as Salford's mental health services (1950s and 1960s), public health in North Manchester (…
Morrice McCrae, Simpson
James Young Simpson was a respected and well-loved yet contradictory figure in nineteenth-century medicine, combining humanitarianism for patients and their suffering with bitter professional disputations. Simpson is best remembered for his discovery and promotion of chloroform as an anaesthetic but he was an innovative practitioner of obstetrics and surgery, a prolific author and poet, and a supporter of liberal causes such as the medical educat…
Commissioning in the English National Health Service
The English NHS is currently organised around a split between the 'commissioning' and the 'providing' of health care. There has been considerable critical comment about commissioning, focusing upon perceived inadequacies of the regulatory structure and a perceived lack of competence of the managers concerned. In this paper, we use empirical data from two detailed studies of commissioning to propose a third explanation of the difficulties that hav…
