Understanding Safeguarding for People Living with Dementia
People living with dementia face a disproportionately high risk of abuse and neglect, yet safeguarding responses remain underexplored, particularly within the context of English legal and care systems. This realist review investigates how safeguarding practices for people with dementia operate in England, examining what works, for whom, in what circumstances, and why. Drawing on 44 studies published between 2014 and 2024, supplemented by extensiv…
Older Patients' Verbal Communication in Interactions With Primary Care Staff
From the manager's point of view
Drawing on fieldwork conducted in a hospital in Greater Manchester, England in 2016-17, we describe how a set of national health priorities were translated into work for hospital managers and clinicians during a period of significant organizational pressure. Departing from the focus on practice and posthuman relations in many recent ethnographies of healthcare, we attend to inequalities between perspectives on organizational change, exploring the…

The Problem of Success and Failure in Public-private Innovation Partnerships
Public-Private Innovation Partnerships (PPIPs) are increasingly used as a tool for addressing 'wicked' public sector challenges. 'Innovation' is, however, frequently treated as a 'magic' concept: used unreflexively, taken to be axiomatically 'good', and left undefined within policy programmes. Using McConnell's framework of policy success and failure and a case study of a multi-level PPIP in the English health service (NHS Test Beds), this paper …
Developing Best Practice Guidance for Discharge Planning Using the Rand/Ucla Appropriateness Method
Background: Discharge from acute mental health inpatient units is often a vulnerable period for patients. Multiple professionals and agencies are involved and processes and procedures are not standardized, often resulting in communication delays and co-ordination failures. Early and appropriate discharge planning and standardization of procedures could make inpatient care safer. Aim: To inform the development of a multi-component best practice gu…
Exploring the experiences of changes to support access to primary health care services and the impact on the quality and safety of care for homeless people during the Covid-19 pandemic
It is important to explore whether recent changes to the delivery of primary care in response to the COVID-19 pandemic compromise the safety of people experiencing homelessness and exacerbate health inequalities. This could have implications for how primary healthcare is delivered to those experiencing homelessness not only for the duration of the pandemic but in the future
Dismembering organisation
Algorithms are increasingly being adopted in healthcare settings, promising increased safety, productivity and efficiency. The growing sociological literature on algorithms in healthcare shares an assumption that algorithms are introduced to 'support' decisions within an interactive order that is predominantly human-oriented. This article presents a different argument, calling attention to the manner in which organisations can end up introducing …
Financialising acute kidney injury
Although sociological studies of quality and safety have identified competing epistemologies in the attempt to measure and improve care, there are gaps in our understanding of how finance and accounting practices are being used to organise this field. This analysis draws on what others have elsewhere called 'financialisation' in order to explore the quantification of qualitatively complex care practices. We make our argument using ethnographic da…
Non-disclosure of chronic kidney disease in primary care and the limits of instrumental rationality in chronic illness self-management
Early detection of long term conditions is predicated on assumptions that lifestyle changes and medications can be used to reduce or manage the risk of condition progression. However, ambiguity remains about the nature and place of diagnostic disclosure to people in newly recognised or asymptomatic 'pre' conditions such as early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). The disclosure of a diagnosis is relevant to instigating strategies which rely on a…

Linking people with long‐term health conditions to healthy community activities
OBJECTIVE: To combine insights from service users with long-term conditions (LTCs) to assist the development of a community referral intervention designed to promote engagement and improve access to health-relevant resources. BACKGROUND: Social deprivation and reduced access to resources have been causally linked with social isolation and the ability to manage LTCs. Participation in meaningful activity has been associated with positive health ben…
