Establishing Consensus on the Breakthrough Pain Assessment Questionnaire-Self Report (BTPAQ-SR) for Typically Developing Children and Young People (8–25 yrs) with Life-Limiting and Life-Threatening Co…
The findings from this study support the clinical need for the BTPAQ-SR, confirm its conceptual foundation, and justify its continued development. Next steps include cognitive interviews with children and young people and introduction to clinical care to assess the psychometric properties of the BTPAQ-SR, including its clinical utility, reliability, and validity
Responding to the Global Pandemic
Background: Social prescribing programmes across the United Kingdom were obliged to adapt and change as a result of COVID‐19. However, as we emerge from the pandemic and only now begin to witness the extent to which service users and providers continue to be affected, is it realistic to expect social prescribing services to meet the increasing demands placed upon them? How might schemes manage to deliver effectively against a backlog of referrals…
From the manager's point of view
Drawing on fieldwork conducted in a hospital in Greater Manchester, England in 2016-17, we describe how a set of national health priorities were translated into work for hospital managers and clinicians during a period of significant organizational pressure. Departing from the focus on practice and posthuman relations in many recent ethnographies of healthcare, we attend to inequalities between perspectives on organizational change, exploring the…
Definition and Assessment of Paediatric Breakthrough Pain
Infants, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions often experience acute, transient pain episodes known as breakthrough pain. There is currently no established way to assess breakthrough pain in paediatric palliative care. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated, resulting in reduced quality of life. The development of a standardised paediatric breakthrough pain assessme…
Parasitic universes
Debates about technology theorising ‘the social’ solely on dyadic and fixed positional terms fail to grasp important ways that new financial technologies participate in work organisations. As an alternative, we build on the work of Michel Serres to propose that these technologies already inhabit triadic and relational parasitic universes in which they introduce interruptions that do much more than mediate between degrees of technological and soci…
The Problem of Success and Failure in Public-private Innovation Partnerships
Public-Private Innovation Partnerships (PPIPs) are increasingly used as a tool for addressing 'wicked' public sector challenges. 'Innovation' is, however, frequently treated as a 'magic' concept: used unreflexively, taken to be axiomatically 'good', and left undefined within policy programmes. Using McConnell's framework of policy success and failure and a case study of a multi-level PPIP in the English health service (NHS Test Beds), this paper …
Ambiguous workarounds in policy piloting in the NHS
Pilot projects are increasingly used as a mechanism to enact organisational change, particularly government policy. Information technology's centrality to organisations often makes it key to the introduction of new processes. However, it can give rise to workarounds as employees circumvent impediments it presents by rejecting its prescribed use. Workarounds tend to be conceptualised dichotomously, as either ‘good’ problem solving, or ‘bad’ subver…
Success” in policy piloting
Research has demonstrated that pilots contain multiple shifting purposes, not all of which relate to simple policy testing or refinement. Judging the success of policy pilots is therefore complex, requiring more than a simple judgment against declared goals. Marsh and McConnell provide a framework against which policy success can be judged, distinguishing program success from process and political success. We adapt Boven's modification of this fr…
On the character of the new entrepreneurial National Health Service in England
Recent health care reforms in England, combined with financial austerity, have accelerated both corporatization and commercialization in the English National Health Service (NHS) and this has encouraged greater public sector entrepreneurialism (PSE). We advance this argument by examining the meaning and experience of corporatization in this sector, illustrating our argument with qualitative data from a specialist hospital at the forefront of this…
Ethical responsibilities of tenured academics supervising non-tenured researchers in times of neoliberalism and precarity
Neoliberal reform of the university sector has resulted in increasing numbers of academics employed on casual or fixed-term contracts. While there is an emergent body of literature on issues of precarity in the academy, relatively little attention has been paid to the roles and responsibilities of those tenured academics who employ and manage non-tenured researchers. The work involved in hiring and managing a contract researcher is rarely acknowl…
‘Making It’ as a Contract Researcher
‘Making It’ as a Contract Researcher examines the contemporary experience of research employment in universities from the perspective of a significant yet often invisible group: temporary or contract researchers, who make up a substantial, and ever-growing, proportion of the academic research workforce. A critical, pragmatic and international account of the contemporary research career, this book explores the question of what it means to ‘make it…
Dismembering organisation
Algorithms are increasingly being adopted in healthcare settings, promising increased safety, productivity and efficiency. The growing sociological literature on algorithms in healthcare shares an assumption that algorithms are introduced to 'support' decisions within an interactive order that is predominantly human-oriented. This article presents a different argument, calling attention to the manner in which organisations can end up introducing …
Managing death
Delivery of end-of-life care has gained prominence in the UK, driven by a focus upon the importance of patient choice. In practice choice is influenced by several factors, including the guidance and conduct of healthcare professionals, their different understandings of what constitutes 'a good death', and contested ideas of who is best placed to deliver this. We argue that the attempt to elicit and respond to patient choice is shaped in practice …
Pilots as Projects
The use of policy pilots and other forms of temporary and projectified organisational arrangements has become increasingly widespread over the last two to three decades in public services in the United Kingdom (UK) and elsewhere. Drawing upon a policy ethnography of a pilot programme conducted in the English National Health Service (NHS) we examine the implications of bringing project rationalities to bear upon policy making. Drawing upon the leg…
The Projectification of the Public Sector
Hybrid managers, career narratives and identity work
While hybrid managers are increasingly important in contemporary organizations (especially in the public sector), we know little about why or how they become hybrid managers, or how this is shaped by the interplay of professional experience and organizational circumstances. In pursuit of a more variegated, contextualized and dynamic understanding of hybrid management, this article focuses on how individuals transition into managerial hybrids, emp…
Financialising acute kidney injury
Although sociological studies of quality and safety have identified competing epistemologies in the attempt to measure and improve care, there are gaps in our understanding of how finance and accounting practices are being used to organise this field. This analysis draws on what others have elsewhere called 'financialisation' in order to explore the quantification of qualitatively complex care practices. We make our argument using ethnographic da…
The policy work of piloting
Power, empowerment, and person-centred care
The social positioning and treatment of persons with dementia reflects dominant biomedical discourses of progressive and inevitable loss of insight, capacity, and personality. Proponents of person-centred care, by contrast, suggest that such loss can be mitigated within environments that preserve rather than undermine personhood. In formal organisational settings, person-centred approaches place particular responsibility on 'empowered' direct-car…
Leadership talk
The economic downturn that began in 2008 led to massive cuts in spending targeted at managerial activities in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Although the appellation “manager” once conferred status in the NHS, managers have borne the brunt of reform and the term itself is in danger of falling into disrepute. Drawing upon perspectives on leadership that emphasize its constitutive nature, we examine the growing alternative emergent culture o…
The emotional labour of health-care assistants in inpatient dementia care
Although there is much written on the emotional labour of nursing, there is little research grounded in the experience of so-called ‘unqualified’ care assistants. This paper is drawn from an ethnographic study conducted with care assistants on three dementia care wards in one mental health trust within the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS). We describe the emotional labour carried out by care assistants in their attempts to provide per…
A short report on knowledge exchange through research-based theatre
The short report describes the development from page to stage of a work of theatre based on an ethnographic study. The originating research focused on the work of health care assistants (nurse's aides) whose direct impact on the quality of life of highly dependent people is often overlooked. The research followed hospital personnel on wards specialising in the 'challenging behaviour' associated with dementia in central England. Conventional resea…
Ward features and stigma experiences of mental health service users in Belgium and England
BACKGROUND: Stigmatizing attitudes can impair the quality of life of people with mental health problems. Psychiatric hospitalization can generate stigma. Are some approaches to care less stigmatizing than others? AIMS: This study was designed to replicate findings from Flanders, Belgium in an English context, investigating how ward size and treatment approach affected service users' expectations and experiences of stigma. METHODS: The translated …
Towards a more strategic approach to research to support catchment-based policy approaches to mitigate agricultural water pollution
The DSM and the dangerous school child
The history of ADHD is in part a history of children who have not fitted in at school. Yet until recently, surges in diagnostic levels had not prompted a questioning of the school’s complicity in the trend. Through an analysis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM), the principal diagnostic guideline relating to ADHD, this paper seeks to deconstruct some of the techniques and practices by which ‘the truth of disorderl…

The Pit Alignment at Eskbank Nurseries
Eskbank Nurseries, a market garden allotment some 200 m long and 30 to 40 m wide, lies at approximately 70 m OD on a relatively level terrace overlooking the south bank of the river North Esk (fig. 1). The excavated area is centred on NT320660 and lies within the two superimposed Roman camps first noted as crop marks by St Joseph in 1965 and subsequently excavated by Maxfield in 1972. Her excavation areas I and II were sited to investigate a pit …

The social background and nature of “children” who perpetrate violent crimes
Routine (dis)order in an infant school
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is popularly understood to be a condition which resides in the person. In this scenario, the school is an innocent bystander, a container for the ‘maladjusted child’. Drawing on an ethnographic case study of one classroom, the first stage of doctoral research into the production of the diagnosis of ADHD, we argue that the school is complicit in the construction of the (dis)order. It is the micro-pra…
