Writing - next project - parts 1 & 2 in search of titles

Currently, I'm pulling together what have become two drafts, that consider Hodges' model as a mathematical object. Part 1, put-down in the new year, and picked-up now; a good start as there is more than I thought. There's a cost of that, of course? Part 2 is a gathering of tatters. Well, it is an effort.

As I don't work in academia where connections may more readily follow, can I claim that Hodges' model also does work? That the model can help in finding potential collaborators and co-authors? Once the fundamentals are understood, and again - it's not rocket science - for some people thankfully, something clicks. It clicks absolutely where it is should.

The model can be quite addictive in a positive way, as one of many among the vast array of assessment, evaluation and other tools. It is complementary.

So, with much needed support to follow, including from previous publication (please see the bibliography in the sidebar), plus April's WCCS26 conference, I'm working away to share them in 12 days or so. Then the work really begins as I benefit from collegial input, new perspectives, views, critique and the reward of constructive debate, experience and knowledge of others. I hope the drafts reward the curiosity that's been displayed. It is still quite exciting. Hoping too that students and early career researchers might pick this up ...

Nursing models of care: "There is another"!

It seems Star Wars forums continue to debate the meaning of Yoda's response to Obi-Wan that "There is another". 

The lack of practice-based debate in nursing and health education about 'nursing theory' and 'models of care, confirms that these academia sagas did indeed take place in a galaxy far, far away.

There is, as ever, positive and negative news too. The bibliography in the sidebar keeps growing. I'm hoping for news of additions dropping into the inbox before the end of the year. Not just prospective papers I know about (yes, there is another prospect!), but other work. In a way the latter is even more special. As these sporadics reveal that there are research heroes out there, on their own path and journey of discovery. Finding Hodges' model, they have applied it to their respective field.

Yesterday, searching for 'Activities of Daily Living' (first published in 1980) while writing the DASH post, on BMJ Careers I came across:

'What models do nurses use to guide their care?'

Is that 'models' plural?

Perhaps the response to the question says something about:

• nurse academia;
• how our medical colleagues view nursing;
• and more importantly - their understanding of nursing, the nursing profession, ongoing aspirations and relevance to self , health and social care in the 21st century?

In January, frustrated at the effort that is getting published (a shared experience then) and lack of attention to theory I posted:

Are you planning a health* study in 2025?

The literature trail for Hodges' model is not voluminous, but it is there:

• as a model of care, conceptual framework;
• person-centredness;
• integrated and holistic care;
• holistic bandwidth
• SDGs
• life chances, health career, prevention, life-style and literacies
• socio-technical approach
• global health;
• reflection and reflective practice;
• critical thinking
• mind-mapping;
• concepts, conceptual spaces, threshold concepts

- with much more to do, even in the above.

Please, call this a gentle nudge. Thank you.

Publication list - Peter Jones

Previously, I used to maintain a publications list, one that runs from the year 'dot' (ego eh!). The bibliography in the blog's sidebar serves this purpose, also being (much) enriched by other papers that use/cite Hodges' model. 

I decided to revisit the exercise. Successful at interview late in 2019, for a part-time (variable hours) tutoring role, no teaching opportunities followed as COVID intervened.

Invited now to f/w an updated CV and covering letter, I realise that apart from several recent papers I did not include a 'comprehensive' list - as I'm sure is the custom in academe; no doubt listings with many more entries. Here's the list:

Dear Spirit of 1848:

I hope this email finds you well. I'm a Family Medicine Physician, Instructor at Harvard Medical School, and Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Medical School Primary Care Review. I'm writing to invite you to contribute your narrative stories of health, community, and equity!

The Harvard Medical School Primary Care Review is an international community-facing publication, and our mission is to “Share stories to amplify the voices of health everywhere.” Publications are approximately 750-1200 words in length, and all references should have hyperlinks (rather than end- or footnotes). The following is a brief set of guidelines for the Review: https://info.primarycare.hms.harvard.edu/review/submission-guidelines. The following Review pieces are nice examples of the type of narrative and community health content we strive for:

• https://info.primarycare.hms.harvard.edu/review/trauma-informed-holistic-health-care
  
• https://info.primarycare.hms.harvard.edu/review/food-access-navajo-nation

Please also share this call with your community partners! We look forward to hearing from you!

Warmly,

Rebekah

Diagnosing Corruption in Healthcare - new Transparency International publication

Dear All,

Corruption has become prevalent in healthcare to the point that it is normalised. From the politician to the patient, individuals routinely place their own private interests above public health goals and patient health outcomes. That was the conclusion from speaking to thirty public health experts and anti-corruption specialists across the globe, as part of our most recent research project.

Our earlier research had shown that those working in the healthcare sector have a low understanding of corruption. Previous attempts at providing an overview of the types of corruption in the sector, while providing an excellent resource for those dedicated to the subject, had been complex and lacked comprehensiveness. Our new publication Diagnosing Corruption in Healthcare [http://www.transparency.org.uk/publications/diagnosing-corruption-in-healthcare/], which we launched at the opening session of the World Health Summit yesterday, aims to bring all the relevant information into one space. We have produced a "map" of corruption in healthcare that contains 37 types of corruption that are clustered into eight areas in health systems.

On our new website ti-health.org you can explore the map fully. Take a look at the explanations of each type of corruption, understand better how they occur in practice by examining some case studies, and if you still want to learn more there are links to other resources on the web.

Please also note that we will be publishing an eight-episode podcast series. Each episode will cover one of the eight corruption categories identified in our research. The first episode will be published this Wednesday, providing an introduction to corruption in healthcare and exploring how corruption can occur in the high-level governance of a health system.

We hope that those working in the healthcare sector, from doctors and nurses to company compliance officers and directors, will be able to use this "map" to better understand the corruption risks in the work. We also hope this map will prompt policy makers, in the public health and anti-corruption fields, to tackle this formidable challenge that endangers health outcomes around the world.

Best wishes,

Sophie

Google's "Think Quarterly" (I am and so can you!)

Google has launched a new venture in e-media with a short book, the first issue is on data - from their  website:

Like most companies, Google regularly communicates with our business customers via email newsletters, updates on our official blogs, and printed materials.

On this occasion, we've sent a short book about data, called Think Quarterly, to a small number of our UK partners and advertisers. You're now on the companion website, thinkquarterly.co.uk (also available at m.thinkquarterly.co.uk, if you're on the move).

We're flattered by the positive reaction but have no plans to start selling copies! Although Think Quarterly remains firmly aimed at Google's partners and advertisers, if you're interested in the subject of data then please feel free to read on...

There is much of interest and to admire here with some key commercial and academic contributors.

Using the health care domains model provides a different spin on 'quarters' but getting a handle on e-publishing is essential and Think Quarterly both describes mobile access in an article and provides a demonstration as they cater for readers on the move as per the link above. Enjoy!

On the train Wigan - Euston amongst other stuff I've been reading Web Designer Issue 181 on the jQuery mobile framework.

London does not seem any darker 8.30pm ... but there must be lights off here too ...
