Towards achieving net zero by 2050 in the UK – Stakeholder perspectives in integrated urban planning
In light of severe risks of extreme conditions arising out of global warming, the push towards sustainable development and management of our resources has been a topic of immense interest globally. The UK’s recent promise of reducing all greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050 is a highly challenging and ambitious one, that involves radically changing how urban environments are planned, managed and developed. This paper is a first attempt at…
Tomorrow's Country
First Nations peoples are revitalising diverse cultural fire practices and knowledge. Institutional and societal recognition of these practices is growing. Yet there has been little academic research on these fire practices in south-east Australia, let alone research led by Aboriginal people. We are a group of Indigenous and settler academics, practitioners, and experts focused on cultural fire management in the Victorian Loddon Mallee region. Us…
Experience-based design
Involving patients in service improvement and listening and responding to what they say has played a key part in the redesign of healthcare processes over the past five years and more. Patients and users have attended stakeholder events, participated in discovery interviews, completed surveys, mapped healthcare processes and even designed new hospitals with healthcare staff. However, to date efforts have not necessarily focused on the patient's e…
Lost in Translation
This paper explores the early implementation of an organizational innovation in the UK National Health Service (NHS) – Treatment Centres (TCs) – designed to dramatically reduce waiting lists for elective care. The paper draws on case studies of 8 TCs (each at varying stages of their development) and aims to explore how meanings about TCs are created and evolve, and how these meanings impact upon the development of the organizational innovation. R…
Build it and they will come' – or will they? Choice, policy paradoxes and the case of NHS treatment centres
At a time when ?choice? is being proposed as the main driver for cultural change and the raising of standards across the public services generally, this paper examines some of the policy issues and arguments involved with reference to one particular organisational innovation being implemented within the ?choice? agenda: National Health Service (NHS) Treatment Centres (TCs). In this context, the paper reveals eight policy paradoxes or contradictio…
Storylines of research in diffusion of innovation
Diffusion of Innovations in Service Organizations
This article summarizes an extensive literature review addressing the question, How can we spread and sustain innovations in health service delivery and organization? It considers both content (defining and measuring the diffusion of innovation in organizations) and process (reviewing the literature in a systematic and reproducible way). This article discusses (1) a parsimonious and evidence‐based model for considering the diffusion of innovation…
Redesigning mental health services
Objectives To explore the involvement of mental health service users in the redesign of in‐patient mental health services in six Trusts participating in a multi‐regional NHS modernization programme. Design Semi‐structured interviews and observation of team meetings undertaken as part of an action research study. Participants and setting Users, clinical, medical and managerial staff from six mental health trusts which participated in the Northern …
Where next for policy evaluation? Insights from researching National Health Service modernisation
This article takes a critical and reflective look at the summative evaluation approach often employed in the context of NHS policy making and puts the case for an evaluation method which is based on a particular concept or variant of formative evaluation. The article uses two contemporary case study evaluations (one summative and one formative) to illustrate the key questions and issues, dilemmas and tensions associated with conducting evaluation…
Studying Health Care “Quality” Qualitatively
The authors tell the story of an attempt to depart from a tradition of evaluation research (ER) and to address the research-practice interface in a different way through a more hands-on, action research (AR) approach, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods. In doing so, they raise issues about the role and nature of evaluation for development and, especially, about the place of qualitative research in such evaluations; the identity o…
Synthesizing Research and Practice
The traditional dichotomy between research and practice invariably results in having to make difficult choices between the two, or trying to balance them in some way in order to keep both academic and corporate ‘sponsors’ happy. The real challenge is not so much balancing the two as achieving a closer fusion and synthesis between them. The action research model offers one such way forward in this regard, being better placed than either the ‘appli…
Changing the Culture of a Hospital
This article is a case study of a large‐scale change programme within an NHS hospital. Drawing upon ethnographic data collected over a two‐year period of intensive research involvement, it tells how the hospital struggled to transform itself from a rigid and divided ‘hierarchy’ into a more flexible and collaborative ‘networked community.’ The paper describes the model of change devised for this purpose, and seeks to capture the lessons learned on…
