    Working in partnership: Opportunities, Values, and Impact

    No full text
    This chapter reflects upon the value of working in partnership to challenge disability hate crime. As authors, we are writing this chapter from two distinct positions; one author is a manager at People First Merseyside and the other a disability hate crime researcher. Our own research partnership has encouraged us to consider the value of working in collaboration to be able to influence change at a range of local, regional and national levels. In this chapter, we share the values of practice that underpin People First Merseyside such as working in ways that enable empowerment, build confidence and change the balance of power relations. These values, we argue, help to create a peer-led, supportive environment which has been vital in helping to shape productive, multi-agency partnerships that harness the strength, knowledge and expertise of disabled people within the community. Drawing upon examples of local campaigns within the community, research collaboration, and the delivery of hate crime training, we hope to encourage others to think about future collaborations with user-led organisations

    COLPOSOSPENSIONE SECONDO BURCH LAPAROSCOPICA

    No full text
    The retropubic colposuspension ( Burch procedure) has been proven its effectiveness in the treatment for female genuine stress urinary incontinence. Recently, laparoscopy was introduced as another therapeutical possibilityin performing Burch suspension. Endoscopic colposuspension can be performed either extraperitoneally or transperitoneally. If there is no need for intra-abdominal procedures the extra-peritoneal approach for colposuspension is indicated and generally a balloon dissection is used to develop the extraperitoneal space. The extraperitoneal approach is quicker and decreases the costs of the procedure compared to transperitoneal approach. Extraperitoneal "gasless" technique was recently described. Our initial experience in performing Burch laparoscopic procedure by transperitoneal and extraperitoneal balloon technique is summarized

    Developing partnership through Third Space activity

    No full text
    This paper reports on a small-scale research investigation into developing partnerships between a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in England and schools based on a collaborative, rather than a cooperative model. Here, a deeper’ interpretation of collaboration, that is to say ‘working together’ rather than ‘working with’ is facilitated through Third Space activity. In essence 'Third Space’ suggests coming out of our normal working environment at school or university) and into a neutral ‘third space’ to design, develop and deliver teacher education with jointly shared understanding and vision. The research was carried out during 2012 and consisted of non-participant observation of meetings between HEI and school staff involved in the partnership and semi-structure interviews with a sample of these staff. The university programme involved was the PGCE secondary programme, however it is important to note that the research suggested that the philosophy of Third Space activity to develop partnership transcends limitations of context. Findings suggest that, despite the ambitious nature of this philosophy, this kind of partnership working has the potential to be transformative for all concerned: HEI tutors, school mentors and student teachers. This in turn benefits pupils in school. As School Direct becomes more widespread in England, it is suggested that the benefits of this kind of working could add significantly to the evolution of effective partnership practice not only in the English context but also in teacher education world-wide
