Dementia and the disappearing subject
Dementia affects 55 million people worldwide and is a global priority as governments, health services and care providers grapple with how to provide care for people with dementia and their families. In the UK, drug treatments for dementia have been available since the early 2000s. There has been significant controversy regarding the efficacy and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals. Using framing analysis, we investigated how dementia drugs were fram…
"Living "Out of the Loop
This article is part of the special issue "Laboring from Ex-Centric Sites: Disability, Chronicity and Work" (title of SI; AWR July 2025; 46(1)) edited by Giorgio Brocco and Stefanie Mauksch. This paper examines the experiences of work and unemployment among residents of an East London borough living with multiple long-term health conditions. Through ethnographic research, we explore the psychopolitics of unemployment in an urban setting, focusing…
Addressing Polypharmacy
Background: Tackling problematic polypharmacy is a global health safety priority and is likely to require a multifaceted approach. UK health policy hinges around the potential of medication reviews, but deprescribing in medication reviews is uncommon and evidence on how to harness their potential is sparse. Methods: Storytelling Group, a design-led methodology, was used to invite experts-by-experience (‘story-creators’) to re-imagine the medicati…
‘Troubling’ medication reviews in the context of polypharmacy and ageing
Healthy ageing is a global priority. Polypharmacy (the use of 5+ medicines) amongst older people is increasing, with over one-third of adults in England, aged 80-89, prescribed at least eight medications. Although sometimes necessary, polypharmacy can be harmful; the risk of harm increases with age and number of medicines prescribed. Medication reviews are recommended as one way of reducing the potential harms of polypharmacy although evidence of…
Multimorbidity as chronic crisis
Contemporary health services are primarily designed around single diseases. People with multimorbidity (multiple long-term health conditions) often become burdened by accumulated treatments. Through multimodal fieldwork in a socially disadvantaged London borough, we explore how people living with multimorbidity navigate conditions of 'chronic crisis', encompassing ill-health, overmedicalisation, polypharmacy and social exclusion. Participants in …
The emergence of multimorbidity as a matter of concern
Multimorbidity is considered one of the greatest emerging challenges for contemporary health care systems. However, the meaning of the term ‘multimorbidity’ is not straightforward. Despite many attempts to clarify the definition and its measurement, the concept remains elusive. Still, academic interest in the study of multimorbidity has grown exponentially in the past ten years. In this paper, we trace the emergence of multimorbidity as a ‘matter…
Supporting Inclusion and Participation for People Living With Dementia
Dementia researchers have persuasively argued for using flexible and creative methods with people with dementia, to ensure their historically marginalised voices are now heard. This article builds on that work, using examples from a study of medicines practices of people with dementia and their informal carers. We have two aims: firstly, we show the ways in which two methods - linguistic ethnography and diary-interview method - can support the in…
Keeping in balance on the multimorbidity tightrope
Primary care management of patients with multimorbidity in the UK is underpinned by clinical guidelines, quality standards and measurable targets which govern practices of risk management and disease control. There is concern that standardised approaches may not always be appropriate for older patients living with multimorbidity. Using a narrative approach, we elicited the voices of older people living with multiple conditions in order to rethink…
Citizen Participation as Political Ritual
This article examines citizen participation in health research, where funders increasingly seek to promote and define 'patient and public involvement' (PPI). In England, the focus of our study, government policy articulates a specific set of meanings attached to PPI that fuse patients' rights and responsibilities as citizens, as 'consumers' and as 'lay experts'. However, little is known about the meanings those who take part in PPI activities att…
Patient engagement with research
BACKGROUND: Lay involvement in implementation of research evidence into practice may include using research findings to guide individual care, as well as involvement in research processes and policy development. Little is known about the conditions required for such involvement. AIM: To assess stroke survivors' research awareness, use of research evidence in their own care and readiness to be involved in research processes. METHODS: Cross section…
What is involvement in research and what does it achieve? Reflections on a pilot study of the personal costs of stroke
Background Health researchers are encouraged to involve service users as partners in their research. There is a need to increase the evidence base of involvement, including an accumulation of empirical accounts of involvement practices, demonstrating how involvement influences research and refinement of the concept itself. Aims To report the development of a pilot study by academic researchers and stroke service users belonging to a user research…
