Quality assurance : the implications for specialist promotion practice
No full textThis study aimed to describe: what quality achieves in specialist health promotion services; what impact quality assurance has had on specialist health promotion practice; and whether quality assurance is perceived as making health promotion more effective.The research was conducted in three phases from October 1995 to December 1998. In the first phase, exploratory in-depth interviews were conducted with health promotion specialists in the NHS, in order to identify the key issues that subsequent research phases should address. In the second phase, all health promotion managers of specialist NHS health promotion services in England were sent a questionnaire covering organisational arrangements for quality assurance in their services, attitudes to quality, and the impact quality guidelines had on practice. In the final phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with NHS health promotion practitioners and academics.Health promotion specialists viewed quality assurance as a complex area. The issues they identified as important included: addressing the confusion about the concept of quality assurance in health promotion, monitoring standards, opportunities and barriers, and assessing the usefulness of quality guidelines. The main findings from the questionnaire included: half of health promotion services have a quality assurance programme; specification of quality in contracts does not appear to affect the development of quality assurance programmes; there is no agreement about national standards for assuring quality in health promotion or how quality should be monitored. The main findings from the semi-structured interviews included: there is an emphasis on evidence-based practice; quality increases the visibility, credibility and value of services; the views on the development of quality is at different stages; quality is integral to practice and generally viewed positively; there are competing priorities for the quality agenda.</p

Clinical and cost effectiveness of surgery for morbid obesity: a systematic review and economic evaluation
No full textOBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of surgery for people with morbid obesity. DESIGN: A systematic review of randomised control trials (RCTs), prospective clinical trials and economic evaluations identified from 14 electronic databases (including Medline, Cochrane library and Embase from their inception to October 2001), bibliographies and consultation with experts and manufacturers was performed to assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of different surgical procedures and nonsurgical management for morbid obesity. An economic evaluation was undertaken to assess cost effectiveness in the UK. SUBJECTS: People diagnosed as morbidly obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) (weight in kilograms/height in metres(2)) >40 kg/m(2), or with a BMI>35 kg/m(2) with serious comorbid disease, in whom previous nonsurgical interventions had failed. MEASUREMENTS: The outcomes assessed included weight change, quality of life, peri- and postoperative morbidity and mortality, revision rates and obesity comorbidities. Cost effectiveness was modelled from these data and presented as cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). RESULTS: Included studies differed in methodological quality. Surgery resulted in a significantly greater loss of weight (23-37 kg more weight) than nonsurgical treatment, which was maintained to 8 years and led to improvements in quality of life and comorbidities. The economic evaluation of surgery compared with nonsurgical management suggested that surgery was cost effective at pound 11000 per QALY. Comparisons of the different types of surgery were equivocal. CONCLUSION: Surgery for morbid obesity appears to be clinically and cost effective. Because of the nature of the evidence, particularly the uncertainty in the clinical and economic evaluations, it is difficult to distinguish between the different surgical procedures.<br/

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Royle Collection: Who do we think we are?
No full textThis workshop anticipates the birth of a project. In a joint collaboration between MMU and University of Lincoln, Who do we think we are? is a project which seeks to explore the very work of archiving. We will use materials from the Royle Collection, (Arthur Royle, Wythenshawe, Manchester). Arthur Royle was a pioneer recorder of Wythenshawe local history and heritage and amassed and created items of historical importance over 60 years which includes maps, letters, receipts, photographs, sketches, and prints. He also recorded local dialects and pronunciations. He was emblematic of public service and duty. The collection is, as yet, unarchived, and there is a unique opportunity to explore what an archive might do beyond the traditional modes of identifying and classifying. We aim to contribute to the co-design, and co-production methodologies and processes conference theme.Our workshop seeks to open up what it might mean to actively archive materials in and with those who come into relation with it. In actively exploring connections between disparate objects, systems and processes we also seek to question how histories and cultures are produced, recorded, lived and enacted. To ask questions of the relation between an archive and its audience is also to invite diverse groups and people into a conversation about universal meaning making and particularities.This workshop will present some materials from the archive and explore the ways in which they may be used, interpreted and worked with, to house and harbor meaning.</p
