A Spinster’s Tour in France, the States of Genoa, etc., during the Year 1827
No full textThe romantic novelist Elizabeth Strutt (1783–c.1863) was ideally suited to the task she set herself when, in 1827, she wrote A Spinster's Tour in France (1828). Although she herself was married, her experiences convinced her of the urgent need for a guidebook designed for the unaccompanied 'lady traveller'. Taking readers through every stage of a long and eventful journey from Southampton to Recco (near Genoa), Strutt combines poetic descriptions of picturesque landscapes with practical advice on lodgings, transport and social interaction. Of particular concern, claims Strutt, is the vulnerability of unchaperoned young women at the hands of 'zealous Roman Catholics' who might seek to convert a 'timid child' to their faith. Strutt's book provides an unusual perspective both on European customs and society, and on the mindset of the British travellers who witnessed them.

No full textManuscript notes on gold digging, written around [c.1858] author unknown, may have been George Elliot. Includes on the front page a coloured drawing of 'The Diggings, designed and drawn by William Strutt, and published by D. Urquhart, Collins Street, Melbourne.
William Strutt (1825-1915) was born in Devon, England and studied art in Paris. He arrived in Melbourne on the HMS Culloden, in July 1850. Strutt published engravings in the first issue of the Illustrated Australian Magazine and designed, engraved or lithographed postage stamps, posters, maps, transparencies and seals and began to learn all he could about the history of the colony. His friend and patron John Pasco Fawkner encouraged him to record important colonial events. His works are represented in galleries in Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat, Adelaide and Hobart. Among European collections, le Musée de Lucerne and the Peace Palace at The Hague hold important paintings. The Dixson and Mitchell libraries, Sydney, the National Library of Australia, State Library and the Parliamentary Library, Victoria, and the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, all hold extensive collections of his sketches, paintings or manuscript material.
Also Gold Licence issued to George Elliot on October 1858 by P.C.. Crespigny, Commissioner. To meet the expense of securing order and to restrain unauthorised mining on Crown land, a local Act of January 1852 imposed on all diggers a licence fee of 30 shillings per month, the penalty for mining without a licence being £6 for the first offence and afterwards imprisonment for terms up to six months

Patient-centred care: Patients’ experiences of and responses to the National Health Service (NHS) Health Check programme in general practice
No full textThis thesis investigates patients’ experiences of and responses to NHS Health Checks, towards the goal of improving patient-centred care. The findings are based on analyses of semi-structured interviews with sixteen Darlington-based patients who had recently undergone an NHS Health Check. I analysed patients’ satisfaction with the NHS Health Check and their expectations about the models and types of care their GP surgery should provide. This analysis identified five aspects of the design and delivery of NHS Health Checks which did not meet patients’ expectations:
1. The NHS Health Check did not meet patients’ expectations for a general health check which would provide empathy and support for all of their health priorities and concerns.
2. Patients felt that eligibility to attend an NHS Health Check should be based on patients’ opinions about when they need or want to have a health check and that access to NHS Health Checks should not be restricted, through age-based criteria.
3. During the NHS Health Check, health was measured in ways that caused some patients discomfort, stress, or anxiety.
4. Patients did not think that all the measures of health used to define their bodies were relevant to their lives. Patients did not necessarily agree with, support, or believe in these definitions of their health.
5. Reliance on general advice about self-help, specifically with the letter of results, did not effectively support all patients to improve their future health outcomes. Some patients found the general advice did not apply to their individual circumstances.
The current format of an NHS Health Check does not adapt well to patients’ needs and preferences as individuals and the particular health measures and health outcomes which they think are most important. Improved patient-centred provision of NHS Health Checks may help to improve patient satisfaction
