Challenges of Inclusion: A Population‐Based Interview Study of Long Covid
INTRODUCTION: People with long Covid report a wide range of symptoms and inconsistent responses when seeking clinical diagnosis and support. Much of the qualitative research on long Covid has been based on people attending specialist clinical services or who have accessed support groups. We aimed to understand the varied experiences of persistent symptoms following Covid-19 and the impact on the lives of people affected. METHODS: Qualitative inte…

Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
The Big Society in an age of austerity: Threats and opportunities for Health Consumer and Patients' Organizations in E ngland

Le voyageur étonné: François Maspero's alternative itineraries
This article examines the alternative itineraries of four travel narratives by François Maspero, one of contemporary France's foremost travel writers: Les Passagers du Roissy-Express (1990), an innovative home tour through the Parisian suburbs; Balkans-Transit (1997), a journey through the southern Balkans in the spring of 1995, his autobiography Les Abeilles et la Guêpe (2002), and the collection of travel writings Transit & Cie (2004). Maspero'…
Introduction: Memories of Conflict in Eastern Europe
In recent years many nations within Western Europe have undergone a period of intense public and private scrutiny of memories related to past conflicts. Well-established and widely accepted state n
Issues of gender and parents' language values in the minority language socialisation of young children in Wales
In Wales, there is considerable concern that an inadequate proportion of young children are being brought up speaking Welsh in the home, particularly in homes with only one Welsh-speaking parent, to ensure the future vitality of Welsh as a language of the home, family, and community. This article investigates to what extent young children's Welsh language socialisation in “mixed-language” families depends on whether the mother or the father is th…
Encountering Globalization: Professional Groups in an International Context
The market for professional services is increasingly international but comparisons have not been made between different professions nor on how state policies affect opportunities for mobility. This article considers three professions: engineers, physicians and psychologists and explores the similarities and differences in international labour market demand for occupations. It examines how state policies in four countries, Canada, Finland, France …
Withering the Citizen, Managing the Consumer: Complaints in Healthcare Settings
This paper considers concepts of citizenship and consumerism in light of complaints about healthcare, which have risen since the early1990s, due to a greater willingness by the healthcare user to complain, and also the reforms in complaint systems. The narrow legal model for dealing with complaints has been replaced by a managerial model based on corporate sector practice that views complaint handling as a way of retaining customers and organisat…
In whose interest? Relationships between health consumer groups and the pharmaceutical industry in the UK
This paper explores how health consumer groups in the UK disclose and manage links with pharmaceutical companies in the context of their growing involvement in the policy process. In particular, it examines claims that industry engages with groups in an attempt to capture the groups' policy agenda, thereby increasing industry's political influence. Drawing on theories of disclosure, analysis of group and industry websites revealed a varying level…
Building Alliances: Incentives and Impediments in the UK Health Consumer Group Sector
This paper addresses the incentives and impediments to alliance formation in the UK health consumer group sector. Research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council shows that links between groups are extensive and highly valued. However, they take place in the context of competition for resources and influence within New Labour's reform agenda. Drawing on theories from sociology and political science this paper shows how in recent years…
Minority Language Socialisation within the Family: Investigating the Early Welsh Language Socialisation of Babies and Young Children in Mixed Language Families in Wales
The role of the home and family/caregivers is commonly acknowledged as being central to securing the intergenerational socialisation of minority languages. Research evidence demonstrates that the survival or demise of minority languages crucially depends upon the extent to which the language is passed on from one generation to the next within the household context. In Wales, there is a marked lack of parental success in ensuring children's acquis…
Influencing the national policy process: The role of health consumer groups
Introduction Whilst recent research has focused on consumer involvement at local level in the UK, there have been few studies of the representation of user, carer and patients’ interests nationally. This paper concentrates on the role of health consumer groups in representing the collective interests of patients, users and carers in the national policy process. Methods The research consisted of (a) a semi‐structured postal questionnaire survey of…
Voices of the Banlieues: Constructions of dialogue in François Maspero's les passagers du Roissy‐express

Representing the repressed? Health consumer groups and the national policy process
English Health consumer groups – voluntary organisations representing patients, users and carers – have become increasingly active in the national policy process in recent years. Groups have constructed alliances with each other, and with other interests in the health policy arena. They have developed extensive contacts within the political system and have generated social and political resources valued by government and other stakeholders. Group…
Health consumer groups in the UK: A New Social Movement
This paper argues that a health consumer movement has developed in the United Kingdom over the last decade. Drawing on two empirical studies of groups that promote and/or represent the interests of patients, users and carers, it argues that groups formed by people with personal experience of a condition are now more widespread. Feelings of pain and loss can lead to the identification of others in a similar position, and to the formation of groups…
