  • Meta-regulation meets Deliberation: Situating the Governor within NHS Foundation Trust Hospitals

    Open AccessRoss Millar, Tim Freeman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy2019Cited by: 1References: 37

    NHS Foundation Trust (FT) hospitals in England have complex internal governance arrangements. They may be considered to exhibit meta-regulatory characteristics to the extent that governors are able to promote deliberative values and steer internal governance processes towards wider regulatory goals.

  • Service design, culture and performance: Collusion and co-production in health care

    Open AccessPaula Hyde, Huw T O Davies et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2004Cited by: 14References: 14

    While there is emerging evidence to suggest that (organizational) culture can affect the performance and quality of health services, little attention has been directed at how these relationships might be mediated, facilitated or attenuated by aspects of service design (i.e. those arrangements that combine facilities, staff and service users in the co-production of care). Using two case studies set in mental health services, this article explores …

    Huw T O Davies, Huw Davies et al.BOOKWhat works?Evidence-based policy…2000

    What counts is what works – but how can we actually tell what works? And what can we do with such knowledge to influence policy and practice? As all parts of the public sector embrace ‘evidence’ as a means of providing more effective and efficient public services, this book provides a contribution to such debates. The authors consider the role of evidence in specific public policy areas (healthcare, education, criminal justice, social care, welfa…

  • Introducing evidence-based practice: The contrasting experiences of health care and probation service organisations in the UK

    Open AccessSandra Nutley, Huw T O Davies et al.ARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration1999Cited by: 1References: 23

    There is much interest in the UK at the present time in making public policy and practice more evidence-based. Many current initiatives focus on the creation of a systematic evidence-base for the various public policy fields. However, experience to date has shown that the fate of much research on service effectiveness is neglect. This paper looks at this issue from the point of view of changing public service practice so that it is in line with b…
