Lockdown ii :: Writing, Reading, Drupal...

As we start Lockdown 2 in the UK - England, plus the long nights to follow it's an opportunity to weigh up plans, projects and progress here.

I've nearly finished my review and posts on "The Power of the 2x2 Matrix":

Q. What is Hodges' model? A. It is NOT a 2x2 matrix

Next up - to read and review-  are two books:

Leave No One Behind: Time for Specifics on the Sustainable Development Goals, Homi Kharas, John W. McArthur and Izumi Ohno, Brookings Institution Press.
Leave No One Behind

Last weekend on behalf of my co-author I (re-)submitted a paper on public health, Hodges' model and the sustainable development goals SDGs.

It does pain me that the publisher kindly sent a review copy in the spring, but sadly it's not in the reference list. That subtitle is tantalizing. I will get to this after picking up "After Ethnos":
 

After Ethnos

To be clear, I'm a nurse not* an ethnographer or anthropologist, but this research approach featured large in studies at Lancaster University 2014-2016. 
 
 
A further rationale for reading this book is to maintain insight into research methods and methodologies.
 
Returning to the writing front, just before I found a co-author for the SDG draft, I'd worked on the two-part Threshold Concepts draft dealing with Deprivation of Liberty (now, Liberty Protection Safeguarding) c/o feedback from Mark Bird.
 
This is next up, especially hoping that the Threshold Concepts can proceed next July at UCL, London.
 
The other paper is a 'legacy' item which started in 2013 (yes, I know!). Mentioned here on W2tQ no doubt on diagrams, case formulations and h2cm. There is a paper here, he says? It is quite advanced in terms of words and references.
 
In addition to the legacy issues:
  • person-centred care;
  • integrated care;
  • holistic care;

the standout personal legacy - is this blog and the lack of a website. Soon I'll put twitter down and blog less to try (again) to focus on Drupal and related tools.
 
*I would like to think that successful nursing interventions (that really 'make a difference') calls for an  ethnographic and anthropological orientation.
