Homecare refusal or acceptance? A framework analysis of perceptions of older people receiving homecare in Scotland
Older people want to live at home for as long as possible and expect a system of care to enable this. This desire is also recognized in many national policies, where ageing in place with the support of informal caregivers is increasingly seen as a viable solution to institutional care.

Diagnostic error is a significant category within preventable patient harm, and it takes many years of effort to develop proficiency in diagnostic reasoning. One of the key challenges medical schools must address is preparing students for the complexity, uncertainty and clinical responsibility in going from student to doctor. Recognising the importance of both cognitive and systems-related factors in diagnostic accuracy, we designed the QUID Prom…
Right at home
Dementia is recognised as the biggest health crisis of our time in terms of high personal and social costs and wider impact on health and social care systems.

Regenerative medicine
BACKGROUND: Few studies explore stroke survivor views and motivations towards stem cell therapy (SCT). This qualitative study explores the views and motivations of both stroke survivors and their partners/carers towards a proposed 2-arm Phase III Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) comparing intracerebral insertion of stem cells with placebo neurosurgery in stroke survivors with disability. OBJECTIVE: To explore views and motivations towards a prop…

People experiencing sickness and disability are more vulnerable to poverty and significant income reduction and particularly those of working age (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2006). Sickness and disability may also ha…
