An integrated approach to improving the process for dietetic transfers from acute to Cork Kerry Community Healthcare dietetic services
The Enhanced Community Care (ECC) programme of reform in Ireland represents a population-based approach to the expansion of primary and community care and, importantly, its integration with the acute hospital sector, providing health services closer to people’s homes and reducing pressure on acute hospitals.

Study of staff who have been alleged perpetrators in adult protection cases
Purpose – The protection of vulnerable adults from abuse is paramount for those working in adult protection. However, staff supporting vulnerable adults who are alleged to have abused them can feel very vulnerable and their needs must also be taken into account. The purpose of this paper is to consider the impact of adult protection investigations from the experiences of people who have been identified as alleged perpetrators in adult protection …
Thresholds in adult protection
In adult protection many of the concerns that are highlighted about possible abuse relate to non‐criminal situations in which neglect may have occured. Designated lead managers, often social services team managers, act as gatekeepers. In conjunction with police, health and inspectorate colleagues they have to determine if allegations and referrals should be dealt with either as possible abuse or as poor practice, triggering different mechanisms. …
Engaging transcendent actualisation through occupational intelligence
This article builds on a previous publication where I developed the concept of occupational intelligence in accord with the humanistic theory of self‐actualisation. In this article I explore how developments within humanistic psychology eventually led to the emergence of transpersonal psychology, which created a renewed impetus for exploring the parameters of human potential from self‐actualisation to self‐transcendence. I argue that the underlyi…
Helping vulnerable adults to keep safe
Adult protection is about prevention and, failing that, investigation and aftercare. This article describes innovative work in Powys, mid Wales, where trainers are working with vulnerable adults to help them to reduce the risk that they will be abused, or if the worst happens, where to turn for help. College staff have developed a course that runs on one afternoon a week for the academic year for people with learning disabilities. For people with…

Engaging Self‐Actualisation through Occupational Intelligence
This article develops a theme discussed in a previous publication, where I argued that cultivating awareness of humans’ multidimensional capacities enables a fluid engagement of creative adaptations within occupations and identity. In this article I go on to explore Abraham Maslow's theory of self‐actualisation and his suggestion that intelligence is an important factor in the self‐actualisation process. I discuss how human intelligence and occup…

Selected literature from Eastern and Western schools of philosophy and consciousness is explored in relation to the process of human adaptation. The article highlights the inner world of occupational beings with particular emphasis on the nature of identity as experienced through the self/I. This paper explores consciousness further from the standpoint of …
