Dear Mr. Bolton,

Instead of trying to construct healthcare systems that don’t rely on people knowing each other, our energies would be better spent focused on creating mechanisms that facilitate relational working through equitable opportunities for people to connect with each other.

I wonder what your reaction to reading the above statement is? By people, I really do mean all people, regardless of role or position and so this includes patients, carers, professionals and anyone else involved.

“A rapid, focused ethnography will be conducted using a cross-sectional approach,” we said.

Multimorbidity in the UK

Historically, biomedicine focused on single disease categories. As a result, many of our current clinical guidelines are almost exclusively focused on managing single conditions. Considering that in the UK, people with multiple health conditions make up most primary healthcare encounters (Cassell et al. 2018), these approaches urgently require critical evaluation.

Long-form ethnography is a long-term investment…but rapid ethnography can help sometimes

Social Science and Humanities research with and on the NHS has never been more urgent than in a post-pandemic context. However, interdisciplinary collaboration with health services presents particular issues ranging from practicalities of access to expectations and differing disciplinary approaches between the clinical and the social/humanities.
