NTU Public Health Conference: Reverse knowledge innovation in global health and development

This conference examines the potential for reversing knowledge transfer and innovation and explore notions of challenging traditional assumptions about the production and flow of knowledge within global health and development studies.

The concept of ‘reverse innovation’ has been gaining traction in global public health and development over the last few years. Increasingly it is an interdisciplinary and multi-contextual concept which deals with knowledge(s) transfer to potentially foster mutual learning between different actors, stakeholders and communities, what Crisp (2010) called ‘Turning the world upside down’. We seek to critically interrogate this emerging concept and its link to knowledge(s) innovation and flows and the cross-cutting social, economic and cultural spaces and practices it inhabits.

We will consider the contribution and role of social sciences in global health and development issues, how partnership models operate this concept and whether this potentially increases sustainability, what new knowledge/perspectives in global health and development are emerging and how these interface with traditional knowledge(s) and practice(s).

We are now accepting Calls for abstracts. Registration for the Conference will open before the end of June 2018.

The objectives of the Conference

• Extend understanding within social science, emerging perspectives on reverse innovation and knowledge transfer within the context of global health and development.
• Highlight the research profile and experience of developing countries and their potential contribution to knowledge and practice innovation in developed countries.
• Showcase the work of students and early career researchers within the sociology of global health and development.
• Create opportunities for identifying potential international collaborations and networks.

Theme

• Reverse knowledge innovation in global health and development

Sub-themes

• Role of social science in global health and development (social theories, political economy).
• Partnership models: sustainability
• Emerging knowledge/perspectives in global health and development: methods, commercial determinants of health
• Traditional knowledge(s) and practice(s)
• Knowledge translation to practice: (Barriers: lack of preventive measures, funding, prevention vs treatment etc.)

Wellcome Collection: Handle with Care

Health care is complex

Hospital Passports or Traffic Light documents

Today I heard "They just aren't read". Hospital Passports or Traffic Light documents for individuals with learning disabilities are still under popularised and often not utilised. Here's an academic poster from my previous @USWnurs_mid HCSW studies to help disseminate the message pic.twitter.com/uE11VdrTbu

Hospital Passport / Traffic Light Poster

I hope this helps a little John-Marc and colleagues...?

The health career - life chances - model was developed with the care and positive life experiences of people with learning disability very much in mind. Consider the model's intra- interpersonal care (knowledge) domain and the political. We are prompted to simultaneously factor in individual and collective autonomy.

As a possible learning exercise (CPD!) sketch out the model and use the poster to reflect on the concepts and aspects of individual and person-centred care that are highlighted.

Identity and care in recognising that identity is paramount whatever 'condition' places members of the public in our hands (and hearts).

Drupal - update: users, roles, content and permissions

I just thought I'd provide an update on the new site.

There's still nothing new on the hosting account. I managed to update on localhost from 8.5.0 to 8.5.3. As I went to the Manchester Drupal Sprint two weekends ago I had a couple of errors. Webform was proving awkward but that was probably me the way I tried to remove it in order to update. It appears there have been some problems, but switching on "Logging and errors" I had more errors that weekend and working through with advice and support at the Sprint things resolved!

Poking around has been really useful and thus far I've not had to start from scratch. Webform is updated but I realised previously I have only scratched the module's surface. Then there is Paragraphs! This is the challenge with Drupal and the range of modules available as explained at DrupalCon Nashville. I know, I know, I've picked up pen and paper and am fleshing out users, roles, content and permissions. This is a distraction. There has always been help available - that's the Drupal community. I've someone to chat with now and looking forward to updating Richard and help to get the new site live. Richard was at Szeged my first Drupalcon in 2008. I remember the advice of Chris, Dan and James back then and Phil, Nathan and others since: Just do it!

So I can't keep scribbling on paper - or here...
