meditation ...

"Suffering from physical pain, El-Salahi began this new and ongoing series of drawings on medicine packets and envelopes in summer 2017. The artist has emphasised how the concentrated creative process is a major part of the works. Focussing on the small drawings, he is able to forget the pain: to concentrate on it is like a form of meditation and I don't feel the pain at all. It is a kind of medicine itself."

We are looking for experts in the fields of health protection and humanitarian aid who are interested in helping us with the content validation for a new risk assessment tool for communicable diseases in humanitarian emergencies. The validation will be in the form of a short interview (between 20 and 35 minutes) via Skype during which you will have the opportunity to examine the tool and comment on it. If you are interested or know anyone who might be interested, please send us an email and we will give you further details regarding the project and the consent procedure. Your help is greatly appreciated. Please also forward this email to any colleagues who might be interested.

Thanks to Prof. Sturmberg and Springer I have some summer reading. Having received the book it really does look well-worth reading. Review to follow here...

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
because
care delivery
involves the
handling
of a variety of forms of
knowledge, information and data.

The handling becomes specialised

The integration of all this 

can be summarised as so many forms of 'why'

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).
