Engaging With Children
This paper examines researchers’ use of visual methods and arts-based activities, when researching with children who have rare diseases, about their experiences of happiness, fulfilment, and resilience.

In thi…
The Forgotten Voices
BACKGROUND: The importance of enabling patients to provide feedback on their experience of healthcare is widely accepted but there are few appropriate measures to enable children and young people to directly provide feedback, particularly those with intellectual disability or younger children. Our primary aim was to develop and test patient-reported experience measures for children and young people with intellectual disability who use inpatient h…
Online community engagement in response to Covid‐19 pandemic

Background: . We sought to develop and evaluate a prototype “tool” to help prepare children for having their blood taken, a procedure most feared by children. Methods: A user-experience design, using creative arts was utilized. Twenty-three children aged 4–12 with haematological conditions participated. Phase 1 involved children developing a blood preparatory “tool” alongside an illustrator. Phase 2 involved children trialing a paper prototype of…
Healthcare professional and interpreter perspectives on working with and caring for non-English speaking families in a tertiary paediatric healthcare setting
Our data show how significant the impact of language barriers can be, and the need to consider not only how communication can be improved, but also how this is situated in the specific context of tertiary paediatric care as well as a wider social context of inequity
Devoted protection
This paper aims to explore the risk perceptions of parents caring for children who have severe learning disabilities and complex medical needs. The paper draws upon a qualitative study involving 20 parents, mostly mothers. The findings document the demanding care requirements which these parents had to meet. Parents viewed their role in terms of devoted vocation rather than meeting a burdensome obligation. This dedication interacted with heighten…
