Health workforce planning methods in rural and remote primary care
BACKGROUND: Rural and remote communities experience poorer health outcomes and lower life expectancy than their metropolitan counterparts. This is in part due to the lack of access to an appropriately skilled health workforce to meet their primary healthcare needs. Various health workforce planning and forecasting methods have been described in the literature at the country and regional level; however, methods designed specifically for rural and …
Consumer Involvement in the Design and Development of Medication Safety Interventions or Services in Primary Care
Understanding Australian pharmacy degree holders' job preferences through the lens of motivation-hygiene theory
Increasing the contribution of pharmacists to primary care has been long discussed, particularly in the context of health workforce shortages and the push to better integrate all providers across primary care. This study examines the employment preferences of Australian pharmacy degree holders (PDHs) elicited through a discrete choice experiment (DCE), to better understand the drivers of current labour force choices. A labelled DCE was developed …
Beyond dispensing
A well-integrated primary health care system helps address the health needs of an ageing population with complex multiple health conditions. In Australia pharmacists provide services to maximise health gains from medication use, although they are not well integrated into primary care. Using the case of Australia, this study investigates why integrating pharmacists in primary care has not been addressed at the national level and also identifies st…
Object–based learning and history teaching
In 2017 and 2018 historians teaching at the University of Melbourne, in collaboration with staff from the University of Melbourne’s Cultural Collections, brought an element of object-based learning to their undergraduate teaching. This article describes their pedagogical strategies in bringing material culture to a study of the past, discusses the advantages to this kind of teaching, and describes the results of a survey of students which aimed t…
After Luther
Do historians look at Luther and the Lutheran Reformation differently in the aftermath of the Lutherjahr of 2017, and its frenzy of academic and public activity? As recent publications on Luther demonstrate – notably Lyndal Roper's 2016 biography Martin Luther: renegade and prophet – there is a still a great deal to say about Luther, and how his friendships, passions, prejudices and physical experiences shaped him. But while Luther was the monume…
You don’t throw these things out
Inappropriate medicine storage, use, and/or disposal practices raises public health concerns, particularly as there is a free returned medicines scheme available, and that this particular participant group were considered experienced medicine users. Healthcare professionals must act to address consumer misconceptions around the quality use of medicines, including medicine retention, storage and disposal. Future research is warranted to explore co…
Patient and nurse preferences for implementation of bedside handover

DESIGN: Discrete choice experiment describing handover choices using six characteristics: whether the patient is invited to participate; whether a family member/carer/friend is invited; the number of nurses present; the level of patient involvement; the information content; and privacy. SETTING: Two Australian hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: …
Karlstadt's Wagen
This remarkable cartoon, produced by artist Lucas Cranach and the Wittenberg theology professor Andreas Karlstadt, is almost certainly the very first piece of visual propaganda for the Reformation (German version, plate 1, and earlier, damaged Latin version, plate 2).1 Karlstadt was finalizing the Latin version of his broadsheet in January 1519; the first printed image of Luther, a crude woodcut adorning a tract printed in Leipzig, did not appear…
Blood, Violence, Calvinism and the Devil
Feeling anxious about prodigious signs was a fundamental early modern Lutheran experience. Lutherans read the Book of Nature alongside the Bible in new and compelling ways intended to make sense of the century’s turmoil, and broadsheets, pamphlets and compendium-style wonder books that described prodigious phenomena rolled off the press. The pan-European phenomenon of the ‘wonder book’ was particularly vigorous in northern Europe in the second ha…

The Southern Indian “Devil in Calicut” in Early Modern Northern Europe
For sixteenth-century Europeans, the so-called demon and idol known as the “devil in Calicut” vividly epitomized the town of Calicut on India’s Malabar coast. Ludovico di Varthema’s textual invention of the devil in 1510 was rapidly followed by a range of visual images that circulated in print. This article explores how and why the most persistent and vigorous images of this devil emerged from Reformation and Counter-Reformation northern Europe. …
Print and polemic in sixteenth‐century France
The second half of the sixteenth century saw the rise of the wonder book as a distinct genre shaped by religious conflict. These often richly illustrated compendia presented extraordinary events intended to inspire both fear and wonder. In France, wonder books appeared primarily during the Wars of Religion (1562–98). The most important was Pierre Boaistuau's 1560 Histoires prodigieuses , which appeared in revised editions incorporating new texts …
Representing Female Labour at the Dawn of the Dutch Golden Age
This article examines the representation of women's labour in the series of paintings by Isaac Claesz. van Swanenburg known as the Old and New Trades (c.1594–c.1612). Earlier studies have focused upon van Swanenburg's realistic depiction of the Leiden textiles trade but had little to say about his innovative representation of women at work. This article contends that van Swanenburg presents women alongside men as economic and moral contributors t…
Interpreting place and past in narratives of Dutch heritage tourism
This essay examines the role of place in creating and supporting heritage tourism narratives, through a case study of the Netherlands. Focusing on late medieval and especially early modern cities including Amsterdam, Gouda, Leiden and Haarlem, it explores the significance of place to the kinds of historic narratives that can be told, and analyses the ways in which tourism providers ask tourists to utilise place as evidence for interpretations of …
Monstrous Births and Counter-Reformation Visual Polemics
In 1569 a broadsheet titled Ecclesia Militans was published in Ingolstadt by Alexander Weissenhorn. Written by Franciscan Johann Nas (1534-90), it incorporates a long poem and a complex image prepared under Nas's direction and closely integrated with the text. The image and text present a number of figures from the book of Revelation, including the seven-headed beast and the whore of Babylon, and depict them alongside a parade of monstrous births…
