    Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners

    Dorothy M. Harrison reads from the memoir of the late Anna Catherine Corbin, a Louisville Women's Overseas Service League member, who served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps during World War II. Corbin describes deploying as part of the 300th General Hospital unit out of Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, being shipped to North Africa on a converted ocean liner, landing at Bizerte, Tunisia and later being sent to Naples, Italy. Corbin talks about setting up a hospital in a former TB sanatorium in Naples, treating soldiers with terrible wounds, the enormous number of casualties that came from the Battle of Anzio, working 23 hour shifts and how few patient fatalities the hospital had in the face of such carnage. She says that she was shipped back to the States in August 1945 and was discharged in October 1945

    Guidelines or mindlines? A qualitative study exploring what knowledge informs psychiatrists decisions about antipsychotic prescribing

    No full text
    Background: Gabbay and le May (2004) argue that successful implementation of research evidence requires a better understanding of clinical "sense-making" and how different knowledge is used in practice. Aims: To explore the psychiatrists decision-making about prescribing of antipsychotic medication and to identify potential barriers to the implementation of guidelines for the pharmacological management of schizophrenia. Method: Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 22 consultant psychiatrists. Results: We identified four types of knowledge: acquired; interpreted; individual experience; and contextual. These were grouped within a personal or a scientific perspective, and located at the level of the "self" or "others". Each of these sources of knowledge informs "mindlines"- the personalized and tacit sense-making - on which prescribing decisions were based. Conclusions: This study indicates that guidelines are only one, component of the knowledge consultant psychiatrists might use when making decisions about the pharmacological management of patients with schizophrenia. The presence of competing and complex sources of knowledge and the use of mindlines could explain why the simple dissemination of guidelines will not change prescribing practice. Declaration of interest: The research on which this paper was based was funded by NHS South West Executive R&D Programme Development Grant (PDG/09/05.99/Harrison)
