Paper: "A generic model and conceptual framework to prime curiosity across health and social care disciplines to facilitate lifelong learning"

 What seems a long time ago now (a decade!) I started writing a paper on:

  • Threshold concepts
  • Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
  • and Hodges' model

This ended up as a two part work, which after review ended up as two separate papers:

One appeared in April:

Jones, P. (2025). A Conceptual Mapping Exercise of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards in Residential & Community Care Using Hodges' Model and Threshold Concepts. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 31: e70085. https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.70085

The other should be published soon - same journal. I appreciate the editor's patience and team's support:

"A generic model and conceptual framework to prime curiosity across health and social care disciplines to facilitate lifelong learning"

Unfortunately, I've no funds to pay for open access. I will bear this in mind, as I resurrect another project - with two versions of 13,000 and 6,000 words. This is on (and began during) COVID-19, society, information and technology.
