An ethnographic study of diagnosis of physical illness in people with mental health conditions in the emergency department
People living with mental health conditions face reduced life expectancy, largely associated with under-diagnosed and under-treated physical illnesses. Inequalities in the way physical symptoms are diagnosed may be implicated in these outcomes, but, to date, studies have primarily understood these inequalities in terms of 'diagnostic overshadowing': the misattribution of physical symptoms to mental health conditions. In this paper, we use the can…

The impacts and implications of the community face mask use during the Covid‐19 pandemic: A qualitative narrative interview study
INTRODUCTION: A range of nonpharmaceutical public health interventions has been introduced in many countries following the rapid spread of Covid-19 since 2020, including recommendations or mandates for the use of face masks or coverings in the community. While the effectiveness of face masks in reducing Covid-19 transmission has been extensively discussed, scant attention has been paid to the lived experience of those wearing face masks. METHOD: …
A Very Peculiar Practice: A very modern campus comedy, 35 years on
On May 21st 1986, the BBC broadcast the first episode of Andrew Davies’s black campus comedy A Very Peculiar Practice. 2021 celebrated the series’ 35th anniversary. This article provides an analysis of the contribution of the series to the genre of campus comedy. It provides an evaluation of the major themes, plots and characters introduced throughout the series and how these reflected, and reacted to, the political environment and ideology of th…
Talking about frailty: Health professional perspectives and an ideological dilemma
Frailty is increasingly used in clinical settings to describe a physiological state resulting from a combination of age-related co-morbidities. Frailty also has a strong ‘lay’ meaning that conjures a particular way of being. Recent studies have reported how frail older people perceive the term frailty, showing that frailty is often an unwanted and resisted label. While there are many scores and measures that clinicians can use to determine frailt…
Experiences of face mask use during the Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative study
The use of face masks and coverings has been a central component of efforts to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has been legally mandated in some countries. Most academic studies to date, however, have focussed primarily on its effectiveness in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, largely neglecting the social dimensions of mask mandates. In this narrative interview-based study, we consider experiences of face masks, with a particula…
Frailty as biographical disruption
Biographical disruption positions the onset of chronic illness as a major life disruption in which changes to body, self and resources occur (Sociology of Health & Illness, 4, 1982, 167-182). The concept has been used widely in medical sociology. It has also been subject to critique and development by numerous scholars. In this paper, we build on recent developments of the concept, particularly those taking a phenomenological approach, to argue t…
Enabling ‘citizen voice’ in the English health and social care system: A national survey of the organizational structures, relationships and impacts of local Healthwatch in England
BACKGROUND: Local Healthwatch have been operating since 2013 as 'consumer champions' in health and social care in England. There is little evidence about how they operate and the daily practices through which they seek to represent citizen views and influence others. OBJECTIVE: To explore (a) the current organizational arrangements, relationships and impact of local Healthwatch in England, and (b) to what extent do these vary across local Healthw…
Improving the Quality of Care in Care Homes Using the Quality Improvement Collaborative Approach: Lessons Learnt from Six Projects Conducted in the UK and The Netherlands
The Breakthrough Series Quality Improvement Collaborative (QIC) initiative is a well-developed and widely used approach, but most of what we know about it has come from healthcare settings. In this article, those leading QICs to improve care in care homes provide detailed accounts of six QICs and share their learning of applying the QIC approach in the care home sector. Overall, five care home-specific lessons were learnt: (i) plan for the resour…
Neither magic bullet nor a mere tool: Negotiating Multiple Logics of the Checklist in Healthcare Quality Improvement
Over two decades, the checklist has risen to prominence in healthcare improvement. This paper contributes to the debate between its proponents and critics, making the case for an Science and Technology Studies-informed understanding of the checklist that demonstrates the limitations of both the 'checklist-as-panacea' and 'checklist-as-socially-determined' positions. Attending to the checklist as a socio-material object endowed with affordances th…
Expressed Emotion, Shame, and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
A cross-sectional study examining relationships between perceived family Expressed Emotion and shame, emotional involvement, depression, anxiety, stress and non-suicidal self-injury, in 264 community and online adults (21.6% male). We compared self-injurers with non-self-injurers, and current with past self-injurers. Self-injurers experienced more family Expressed Emotion (EE) than non-injurers ( t (254) = −3.24, p = 0.001), linear contrasts expl…
Engagement of patients and the public in NHS sustainability and transformation: An ethnographic study
Internationally, debates are taking place about sustainable healthcare. In England, guidance on patient and public involvement (PPI) advocates ‘engagement’ and references Arnstein’s ladder of participation, but recent proposals provoked controversy around service closures and the perceived exclusion of patients and the public. This article reports an ethnography of engagement, prior to formal public consultation on plans for major service change.…
Adolescents' Perspectives of Youth Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Prevention
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is of increasing concern, yet many adolescents who self-injure are reluctant to seek professional help. Instead, they turn to friends for support, although it is unclear what these friends can offer. This study aimed to identify adolescents' views of how peers and online friends can help young people who self-injure, and examine differences according to age, gender, and exposure to NSSI. Students ( n = 2,637; aged …

Institutional Work to Maintain Professional Power: Recreating the Model of Medical Professionalism
The creation of new roles commonly threatens the power and status of elite professionals through the substitution of their labour. In this paper we examine the institutional work carried out by elite professionals to maintain their professional dominance when threatened. Drawing on 11 case sites from the English National Health Service (NHS) where new nursing or medical roles have been introduced, threatening the power and status of specialist do…
Mates in Construction: Impact of a Multimodal, Community-Based Program for Suicide Prevention in the Construction Industry
A large-scale workplace-based suicide prevention and early intervention program was delivered to over 9,000 construction workers on building sites across Queensland. Intervention components included universal General Awareness Training (GAT; general mental health with a focus on suicide prevention); gatekeeper training provided to construction worker volunteer 'Connectors'; Suicide First Aid (ASIST) training offered to key workers; outreach suppo…

Religion and Spirituality Along the Suicidal Path
The inner experience of spiritual and religious feelings is an integral part of the everyday lives of many individuals. For over 100 years the role of religion as a deterrent to suicidal behavior has been studied in various disciplines. We attempt to systematize the existing literature investigating the relationship between religion/spirituality and suicide in this paper. After an overview of the attitudes of the dominant religions (e.g., Catholi…
Accounting for the `dark side' of new organizational forms: The case of healthcare professionals
Our study responds to a call for research to integrate institutional, organizational and individual levels of analysis in examining the implications for work and employment relations of new organizational forms. We empirically examine the implementation of network forms of genetics healthcare delivery that cross organizational and professional boundaries. We highlight that less powerful professional groups may find difficulty in enacting boundary…

Organizational Imperatives
For the turbulent, uncertain world of the 1970's, with the role of the presidency in foreign affairs more limited or less visibly centrally involved, revised organizational modalities become imperative. Foreign affairs staffing of the President should be sufficient to ensure that he is immediately informed of all significant events abroad, but should avoid overcumbersome organizational layers or overintense presidential involvement. This will req…
