Decolonising global health evaluations
The field of global health evaluation is critiqued for its reliance on Eurocentric paradigms that perpetuate epistemic injustice. A rapidly evolving yet conceptually fragmented literature on decolonising evaluation has emerged in response. We conducted a scoping review to chart the nature and breadth of this literature and synthesise insights to guide future evaluation scholarship and practice. Academic database searches identified 1,024 records,…
Emergent ethics of xenotransplantation
The world’s first clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of xenotransplantation (XT), in which kidneys from genetically modified pigs are transplanted into human recipients, is underway. As the trial may bring XT closer to clinical reality, it is important to understand what the public make of XT and associated emerging technology. In this paper we share the findings of our research which examined how the public engages with the science…
Navigating power hierarchies in the “field”
Despite increasing focus on the broad topic of power hierarchies within research partnerships, scholarly analysis and guidance within global health tends to focus on partnership-building, governance structures and authorship, while the interactions occurring between researchers in settings where a project or community are located, often referred to as the “field”, remains a neglected topic. This study applies an intersectional lens to explore how…
Telehealth and people with disabilities in the United Kingdom
Introduction: Telehealth, also sometimes known as telemedicine, is the use of communication technologies to deliver healthcare remotely, has become increasingly vital, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. While telehealth can improve healthcare access, it may exacerbate inequities for people with disabilities. This scoping review explores the needs, experiences, and difficulties people with disabilities face when accessing telehealth service…
Stakeholder views on the implementation of the UK’s Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) National Action Plan (2019–2024) in relation to AMR in the environment
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment is an important component of One Health AMR research and is increasingly incorporated into AMR National Action Plans (NAPs), including the UK's AMR NAP 'Tackling antimicrobial resistance 2019-2024'. However, implementation of the environmental commitments has yet to be evaluated. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to understand UK stakeholder perspectives on the delivery and implementa…
Access to Inclusion Thinking Beyond Reasonable Adjustments
Disabled public contributors continue to experience challenges with inclusion, despite inclusive patient and public involvement (PPI) being regarded as the gold standard in research practice and despite disabled PPI contributors often making up a significant proportion of all public contributors [1]. With the recent Disability Framework from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which commits to disability inclusion in healt…
Capturing the impact of integrated care
The evidence underpinning integrated care remains uncertain, with numerous examples of evaluations finding little robust evidence of intended impacts on health or reporting conflicting results. Reasons for this include problems with the design and implementation of integrated care initiatives and issues with integrated care evaluations themselves, such as lack of suitable comparator or poorly defined outcome measures. In this interactive workshop…
Learning From Self-Care Practices Among Marginalised Women
Self-care is a recurring theme in health policy, frequently positioned as a means of reducing demand on overstretched healthcare systems. In the United Kingdom, the growing interest in self-care as a policy solution has been ascribed to the heightened prevalence of chronic illnesses, over 15 years of austerity and their interaction with neoliberalism. This article juxtaposes policy framing of self-care with how it is conceptualised, practised and…
