Paraprofessionals as liminal professionals
We examine how paraprofessional physician associates/assistants (PAs) experience and navigate their everyday work, drawing on 126 interviews and one focus group across five NHS hospitals in England and Scotland. PAs described sustained ambiguity around their professional regulation and scope of practice, their ambiguous positioning between doctors and nurses, and organisationally being physically embedded within medical teams but governed under n…
Excluded by design
Innovations, especially those involving digital technologies, are expanding rapidly in health and social care in many countries around the world, but the extent to which the needs of underserved populations are considered is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore if and how socioeconomic health inequalities are considered in the design and delivery of health and social care innovations in the United Kingdom. A qualitative study using 23 se…
The power of animation
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already high rates of poor psychological wellbeing in doctors. Many doctors perceive a stigma associated with acknowledging psychological wellbeing concerns, resulting in a reluctance to seek support for those concerns. The aim of this study was to develop a theoretically-informed and evidence-based composite narrative animation (CNA) to encourage doctors to access support for psychological wellbeing, and to …
Heard, valued, supported? Doctors' wellbeing during transitions triggered by Covid‐19
A framework to support the design and cultivation of embedded research initiatives
Background: Embedded research involves co-locating researchers within non-academic organisations to better link research and practice. Embedded research initiatives are often complex and emergent with a range of underlying intents, structures and processes. This can create tensions within initiatives and contributes to ongoing uncertainty about the most suitable designs and the effectiveness of different approaches. Aims and objectives: We aimed …
Embedding researchers into organisations
Background: ‘Embedded research’ (co-locating researchers within non-academic organisations) is advocated as a way of developing more effective services through better creation and application of knowledge. Aims and objectives: The existing literature on embedded initiatives has largely been descriptive. There has been less in the way of analysis, for example, disaggregating the components of such schemes, unpacking underpinning logics, or compari…
