A Qualitative Evaluation Exploring Co‐Production of Falls Management in Care Homes
BACKGROUND: Co-production approaches are increasingly used in research but are rarely evaluated in care home settings. This study explored factors influencing key principles of co-production in a series of workshops around falls management in care homes. METHODS: Stakeholders (care home residents and relatives, care home staff, and health and social care staff) participating in co-production workshops as part of a research study were invited to t…
Migrant NHS nurses as 'tolerated' citizens in post-Brexit Britain
With this article we present European Union (EU) and non-EU nurses' lived experiences of feeling 'unwelcomed' and 'unsettled' in a heightened xenophobic environment, in the workplace and elsewhere, following the 2016 EU Referendum. Brexit has exposed long-standing structural inequalities which oppress and disempower the NHS migrant labour force. Migrant nurses, a highly mobile and skilled workforce, were feeling increasingly disenfranchised and i…
Knowledge sharing to support long‐term condition self‐management—Patient and health‐care professional perspectives
BACKGROUND: Increased self-management is a suggested solution to the burden on health-care services of long-term conditions (LTCs). This requires effective sharing of knowledge between health-care professionals and patients, and is an underexplored area. OBJECTIVE: To understand how patients and health-care professionals (HCPs) share and utilize knowledge in the social context of health-care interactions within long-term condition management. MET…
Patient Perspectives on Key Outcomes for Vocational Rehabilitation Interventions Following Traumatic Injury
Returning to work after traumatic injury can have a range of benefits, but there is currently little research that incorporates patient perspectives to identify outcomes of vocational rehabilitation interventions that are important to survivors. Trauma survivors ( n = 17) participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews or focus groups exploring outcomes that were important to them for recovery and return to work. Data were analysed using them…
Dodgy labour market dichotomy: The repercussions of sneaky labour intermediaries on employees’ constitutional rights
The flexibility inherent in temporary agency work allows employers to cut labour cost in a variety of ways. Recurring themes in the employment literature draw attention to the duality of the labour market rooted in type-of-contract segmentation. This duality in the labour market carries with it a number of undesirable consequences. Drawing on qualitative data from six case studies in Pakistan, this paper reports on an in-depth study of deceitful …
Understanding the care.data conundrum: New information flows for economic growth
The analysis of data from electronic health records aspires to facilitate healthcare efficiencies and biomedical innovation. There are also ethical, legal and social implications from the handling of sensitive patient information. The paper explores the concerns, expectations and implications of the National Health Service (NHS) England care.data programme: a national data sharing initiative of linked electronic health records for healthcare and …
Animals and Anomalies: An Analysis of the UK Veterinary Profession and the Relative Lack of State Reform
The sociology of professions literature would predict that the contemporary state would not allow groups to continue unregulated or unreformed. However, this is indeed the case with the UK veterinary profession, with legislation dating back to 1966. Using an interdisciplinary analysis of published literature and reports, this paper assesses whether wider social, political and ethical dynamics can better explain this intriguing anomaly. We conclud…
Why do organisations implement automated external defibrillators
Automated external defibrillators are becoming ubiquitous in public space, with a wide variety of organisations adopting this technology as a way of dealing with the risk of cardiac arrest to staff or users of the organisation. In this article, we examine why organisations had purchased defibrillators. We explore how organisations perceive their responsibilities to staff and visitors in an emergency, and why organisations believe a defibrillator …
How do lay people come to trust the Automatic External Defibrillator
Defibrillators are now widely installed in a variety of public places for the immediate treatment of people who have collapsed with a suspected cardiac arrest. These initiatives are predicated on the defibrillator being used by 'lay' volunteers. This presents a problem of trust, as the volunteer rescuers need to trust an unfamiliar technology to diagnose and treat an immediately life-threatening condition they are unlikely to have encountered bef…
A failed panopticon: Surveillance of nursing practice via new technology
New technology being introduced into nursing makes possible the surveillance of practice via an ‘electronic panopticon’. This paper reports on a qualitative study of these systems in the UK NHS, where the attempt to monitor nursing practice failed, not least due to the complexities of nursing culture and practice at ward level
Impact of Different Measures of Comorbid Disease on Predicted Mortality of Intensive Care Unit Patients
BACKGROUND: Valid comparison of patient survival across ICUs requires adjustment for burden of chronic illness. The optimal measure of comorbidity in this setting remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES: To examine the impact of different measures of comorbid disease on predicted mortality for ICU patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Seventeen thousand eight hundred ninety-three veterans from 17 geographically diverse VA Medical Centers …
