Politics of the NHS

Although traditionally seen as being under the natural ownership and guidance of the Labour Party, the NHS is one of the prime agendas of all parties, along with education and crime. Proposals are invited related to The Labour Party and the NHS, particularly New Labour, or historical perspectives of Labour and the NHS

Healthcare in the EU

European countries have health systems based on the NHS model, with variations around funding and private/public provision. Comparisons across the newly expanded EU offer fruitful ground for seeking solutions to common/particular problems. Proposals are invited of comparative studies, especially those related to provision of anaesthetic and surgical services.

Health in English Literature

After commenting about the weather, health is the next issue to be raised when two people meet. Many in the prose and poetry canon of English Literature have explored health issues and notions of disease and wellbeing - from Auden's Miss Gee to John Hegley's Health Questionnaire. Proposals are invited on any genre of prose or poetry that gives insight into any aspect of health, especially hospitals and surgery.

Privatisation of the NHS

The agenda of privatisation in the NHS is one that has raised much consternation in and out of the Service (Alyson Pollock's book NHS PLC is an example of how high the feelings run). Controversial issues such as PFI have been promulgated by New Labour in a string of changes that started with the contracting out of cleaning services under the Conservatives in the 1980s. Proposals are welcomed that deal with historical perspectives on privatisation, EU comparisons, or particular themes such as PFI.

Power and hierarchies in the NHS

Hierarchical relationships in healthcare have been noted for a long time, the position of the Doctor in society and in health systems has always been a high, if not revered one. Proposals are invited that examine how (or if) this notion, related to both public and medical perceptions, has changed through time - considerations of portrayal of the hierarchy in the media are especially welcome.
