DIRECTORS’ MESSAGE:TEN YEARS OLD BUT IT DOESN’T LOOK IT!

This report on activities in 2009-10 is a testament of the work and creativity of the staff andmembers of the Institute of Health and profiles the range breadth, quality and impact ofresearch and knowledge translationactivities during this time.

There are a number of highlights. Firstand foremost is the continuing andappreciated sterling support we havefrom Jas Bains the researchadministrator which we all appreciate.Then colleagues have continued to excel, Davide Nicolini has been promoted to Professorand Dr Alan Dolan and Dr Clare Blackburn and their colleagues have been awarded ESRCgrants to pursue their research in the areas of men’s experiences of infertility and themeasurement of children with disabilities respectively. Libby Burton has been awarded oneof the three EPSRC Dream Fellowships given to people with transformative ideas.

Libby Burton joined us in September 2009 as Professor of Health Well Being and the BuiltEnvironment and since then two members of her research group WISE have followed – DrLynne Mitchell and Dr Shibu Raman. Professorial Fellow David Ormandy also joined the

Institute in February 2010 bringing hisWHO Collaborative Research Centre onHousing Standards and Health. Theinternational research in this area hasbeen a new and exciting development.

The ESRC Doctoral Training Centreawarded to the Faculty of Social Sciencesat the University of Warwick includes

training pathways in Health and Social Care and Health Well Being and the BuiltEnvironment that have been developed jointly with Health Sciences at Warwick MedicalSchool so that we will be recruiting PhD students to these pathways for the academic year2011-12. Amongst the current 19 PhD students and 4 MA postgraduate students affiliated tothe Institute we have 2 ESRC studentships, 3 joint ESRC/EPSRC studentships, studentswith scholarships from Thailand, Mongolia and Jordan, and one holder of a WarwickPostgraduate Scholarship which matched donor funding. We congratulate Boika Rechel,Duncan Randall, Viv Barnes on being awarded their PhDs and Viv Richards on beingawarded her M.Phil.

The Institute continues to consolidate itsrole as the primary centre for theinterdisciplinary study of health at theUniversity of Warwick. The existing andnew vibrant research groups continue toconstitute a primary opportunity to fosternew collaboration and generate innovativeprojects and initiatives.The Health@Warwick poster event, a networking initiative that brings together healthresearchers now in its second edition, is becoming a staple feature of campus life and has


In the next two years we willespecially focus on raising the

profile and increase thedemonstrable impact of healthrelated social science research

at Warwick

set a trend among academics from other disciplines (e.g., statistics) who are adopting thesame model. Members of the Institute arenow regularly contacted to be involved ininitiatives and project bearing witness to itsvisibility and contribution.

For what concerns future plans, we arequickly approaching the REF deadline andthe Institute is keen to give its contribution tothe achievement of the ambitious strategicobjectives that the University has set foritself. Accordingly, in the next two years ourfocus will be especially on raising the profile and increase the demonstrable impact of healthrelated social science research at Warwick both nationally and internationally. We areworking on a number of new initiatives that will strengthen the international visibility of theUniversity but we will also ensure that both individuals and the university have a wider reachbeyond the narrow academic field – one of the key aspects of the REF assessment.

Overall, we think the activities set out here evidence of the good health and vibrant nature ofthe Institute and give a flavour of the ethos and collegial buzz of the Institute of Health whichis now ten years old but doesn’t look it!

6. CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

Evaluation of Disabled Children’s Access to Childcare (DCATCH) Pilot(2009-2011)Funder: Department for EducationPI and Co-applicant: Clare Blackburn and Janet Read

Clare Blackburn and Janet Read, with collaborators at NatCen and the Nora FryCentre, University of Bristol, are involved in a national evaluation of DisabledChildren’s Access to Childcare (DCATCH) Pilot commissioned by the Department forEducation. DCATCH is a specific Aiming High for Disabled Children initiativededicated to developing childcare provision for disabled children and their families.The national evaluation aims to:

Provide robust information to assist the implementation of projects in the pilotLas and the wider roll out of projects to other Las

Evaluate the impact of these projects on disabled children and their families Identify the most successful and cost effective projects Identify the key lessons for policy development on childcare provision for

disabled children

Research methods include a detailed scoping study to identify the range of projectsand work within projects, a thematic process evaluation and quantitative impactsurvey.

Childhood limiting long-term illness/disability and socioeconomicdisadvantage in the UK: exploring predictors, trends and causal directionsFunder: ESRCPI and Co-applicant: Clare Blackburn, Janet Read, Nick Spencer(2010-2012)

This project aims to generate robust data on the association between childhoodlimiting long-term illness and disability with socio-economic disadvantage, ethnicity,gender, lone parenthood and parental disability, identifying predictors, trends andcausal direction. Its objectives are to:

1. To undertake secondary analysis of data from the Samples of AnonymisedRecords for the 1991 and 2001 UK population censuses in order to:

i) identify the trends in childhood disability by gender, age, region, ethnicity, loneparenthood and socio-economic position;

ii) examine whether there is an association between childhood disability andethnicity after adjustment for social disadvantage;


iii) explore the association between childhood disability and lone parenthood afteradjustment for social disadvantage;

iv) identify the extent to which any regional differences in childhood disability canbe explained by social disadvantage;

v) examine whether disabled children are more likely than other children to livewith disabled parents.

2. To undertake secondary analysis of the ONS Longitudinal Study to:

i) examine whether children with limiting long-term illness/disability are morelikely than other children to live with adults with limiting long-termillness/disability;

ii) explore the extent to which parental limiting long-term illness/disabilityprecedes or follows caring for a child with limiting long-term illness/disability;

iii) examine whether social disadvantage predisposes children to limiting long-term illness/disability, and if so, to what extent;

iv) identify how much of the social disadvantage experienced by households withchildren with limiting long-term illness/disability precedes the onset of thechild's limiting long-term illness/disability, and how much follows on from it.

3. To carry out a systematic review of the published literature on the associationbetween disability in childhood and social disadvantage in high income countries inorder to bring together the evidence on the relationship and to progress theory on thenature of that relationship/association.

Masculinities, infertility and men’s health; towards a theoretical understandingof men’s experiences of infertility treatmentsFunder: ESRCPI and Co-applicant: Alan Dolan, Geraldine M Hartshorne(2011-2012)

In the UK, it is estimated that infertility affects one in seven couples with male-factorinfertility alone accounting for around one-third of all infertility problems (HFEA 2008).Whilst studies have begun to examine infertility treatments from a male perspective(see for example Peterson et al 2006; Throsby and Gill 2004; Webb and Daniluk1999; Greil 1997; Mason 1993) this area of work remains in its infancy and tends tobe retrospective in nature. Previous studies have also not explored the views andattitudes of health care professionals concerning masculinity and how these maymediate men’s experiences when undergoing infertility treatment. Therefore, theconnections between masculinity and men’s individual ‘practices’ when undergoing


infertility treatments have rarely been made transparent. This study intends toprovide a rigorous gender-based analysis of men’s experiences while undergoinginfertility treatments and the relationship with men’s bodies and their health. The goalis to uncover the interlocking relationships between 'being male', having an 'infertilebody' and engaging with 'health services' from the perspective of men currentlyreceiving infertility treatment and the health care professionals who treat them. Inorder to achieve its goal, the study adopts a critical realist stance and employs aninnovative ethnographic design which incorporates participant observation, repeat in-depth face-to-face/telephone interviews and audio diaries with men currentlyundergoing infertility treatment and in-depth face-to-face interviews with health careprofessionals working with infertile men. In summary, the study will contribute toknowledge and professional practice in this area through its five main aims: a) toprovide theoretically informed and empirically rich understanding and analysis ofmen’s lived experiences while undergoing infertility treatments; b) to investigate howmasculinity (being male) affects men’s experiences of infertility treatments and theirrelationships with health care professionals; c) to investigate men's ‘practices’ whileundergoing infertility treatments and how these relate to men’s conceptualisations ofmasculinity, the body and health; d) to investigate how health care professionals’conceptualisation of masculinity mediates their relationships with men undergoinginfertility treatment and the implications of this for their practice with men; e) to informthe planning, development and delivery of infertility treatments in relation to men.

A Learning Network for the right to Health: Civil Society and AcademicCollaboration to Contextualise Human Rights within an African Perspective,British AcademyFunder: British AcademyPI: Maria Stuttaford(2010-2011)

The grant supports the development of academic publications and outputs fromwithin an ongoing project involving a Learning Network for Health and Human Rightsrunning in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. This wider project is aparticipatory action research programme in which three academic institutions and sixcivil society groups engage in research, reflection, training and dissemination toidentify how best human rights can strengthen civil society agency and claims tohealth rights. The grant supports two visits by Stuttaford, to Cape Town. It aims to:provide opportunities for the team of researchers to work on 6 collaborative academicpapers; enable Stuttaford to participate in an existing seminar series entitled “ALearning Network for the Right to Health: An opportunity for civil society andacademic collaboration to contextualise human rights within an African perspective”and which contributes to research capacity development at UCT and; enableStuttaford to visit UCT to continue to contribute to an existing project entitled“Learning by Doing and Doing by Learning: a Civil Society Network to Realise theRight to Health” funded by SANPAD and OSF. Her contribution will especiallyprovide training on data analysis and writing as this project enters its final stage; workwith faculty at UCT in developing postgraduate training on qualitative data analysis


and knowledge transfer; and provide opportunities for the team to develop newresearch ideas and grant proposals.

The Role of a Right to Health Approach in Access to Complementary TherapiesFunder: British AcademyPI and Co-applicant: Gillian Hundt, Maria Stuttaford(2010-2011)

The research programme facilitated initial project planning and development ofa conceptual framework for a larger research proposal bringing together, throughvideo conferences and a workshop, scholars who are developing innovativeresearch in the field of health and human rights. The proposed LeverhulmeInternational, Network would develop a research programme on the role of a healthandhuman rights approach in the context of plural health seeking behaviour,indigenous health and complementary therapies. Drawing on Western, African andMiddle Eastern theories of human rights, the large research grant will explorecommunity perspectives, regulation and commodification in relation to traditionalhealing and complementary therapies.

The quality of life of visually impaired children - investigation and developmentof a novel vision-related quality of life instrument (2007-2010)Funding body: The Guide Dogs for the Blind AssociationPI : Jugnoo Rahi, Institute of Child Health, UCLCo-Investigators: Gillian Lewando Hundt (University of Warwick), PhillipaCumberland (Institute of Child Health), David Taylor (Institute of Child Health),Anthony Moore (Institute of Ophthalmology/Moorfield's Eye Hospital), Peng TeeKhaw (Institute of Ophthalmology/Moorfield's Eye Hospital), Alison Salt (GreatOrmond Street Hospital) and Naomi Dale (Great Ormond Street Hospital)

Serious visual loss during childhood is known to pose significant educational,employment, personal and social challenges throughout life. Nevertheless theperspective of children about the consequences of their visual loss and of theirtreatment to preserve or improve their sight has not been widely investigated. Vision-specific subjective outcome measures are needed which can differentiate betweenvisually impaired children and capture their concerns. There are increasinglyimportant and diverse applications of such vision-related quality of life (VRQOL)instruments. They can be used effectively in evaluating the broader benefits of newtreatments to preserve and improve sight; applied in planning and provision ofrehabilitation, education and social services; used in clinical settings to aid inmanaging individual patients; applied in population assessments of disease burden;and used for prioritising the agenda for service provision and for future research onvisually impairing disorders of childhood. We have developed the first VRQOLinstrument for self-completion by children and are piloting it.


Evaluation of Rosetta Life Social Arts Activities for the Pan BirminghamPalliative Care Network (2008/2009)Funding Body: Pan Birmingham Palliative Care NetworkPI: Gillian Hundt (Institute of Health)Co-Investigators: Shelia Galloway (Education), Claudette Bryanston (Institute ofHealth), Maria Stuttaford (Institute of Health)

Rosetta Life is a UK leader in delivering innovative arts activities to those receivingPalliative Care through opportunities for creative expression through various artforms and via different platforms to share their output. The NHS Pan-BirminghamPalliative Care Network commissioned an evaluation of this work, focusing onpartnership projects in the Midlands during 2008-09. These are: a drama projectinvolving hospice users and Birmingham Repertory Theatre; two movement projectswith people who have severe motor disabilities, and a film about living with life-threatening disease around the clock. Research methods included interviews withparticipants, carers, staff and artists, alongside observation and feedback fromaudiences and staff.Report:http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/healthatwarwick/research/currentfundedres/rosetta/rosetta_life_evaluation_report_2009.pdf

A Study of the Ethical Understandings of Clinical Practice of Non UK QualifiedDoctors (2008-2009)Funding body: General Medical CouncilPI: AM Slowther (Warwick Medical School)Co-Investigator: Gillian Hundt (Institute of Health)

The GMC commissioned a research study to explore the experiences of InternationalMedical Graduates, including graduates from the European Economic Area, inadjusting to working within the GMC’s professional and ethical regulatory framework.The study used a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods and included areview of the information available to doctors wishing to apply for registration with theGMC. The study findings showed that non-UK qualified doctors have difficultyaccessing information and support that would help them to apply GMC guidance inpractice. The study made several recommendations including the provision oftargeted information, in post induction and training, and ongoing mentoring fordoctors beginning work in the UK having qualified in another country. A smallersample of UK qualified doctors showed that this support would be of general benefitto all newly registered doctors but is more likely to be already available to UKqualifiers. Presentations have been given to the GMC, and the Association ofMedical Education as well as at international conferences.Report: http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/research/4986.asp


Khat and Social Identity in Uganda (2007-2009)Funding body: ESRCPI: Dr Susan Beckerleg (Institute of Health)

The production and consumption of many psychotropic substances have beenattributed with the power to destroy individuals, communities and even nations. Forexample, heroin production in Afghanistan and cocaine production in Colombiaprovide a good income for producers, but undermine the rule of law and civil societyin ways that are unacceptable to the international community. Some academics,policy makers and lobbyists have made similar claims for khat (Catha edulis), a plantthat acts as a stimulant when its leaves or stems are chewed. This study wascompleted in December 2009 and involved fieldwork in Uganda with khat producersand users. A book has been published - Ethnic Identity and Development: Khat andSocial Change in Africa

Improving Access to and Quality of Reproductive and Child Health Care toMarginal Peoples: Bedouin in Jordan and Lebanon (2006-2010)Funding body: Commission of the European Communities - Research DirectorateGeneralConsortium co-ordinator: Professor Gillian Hundt, Institute of Health, University ofWarwick;

Consortium Partners:Dr Dawn Chatty, Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford,Dr Anne Tursz, Cermes/Inserm France,Professor Annika Rabo, CEIFO University of Stockholm,Dr Faysal Al Kak, American University of Beirut,Dr Fadia Hasna, Philadelphia University of Jordan

This study has aimed to assess and improve access for Bedouin in the North EastBadia of Jordan and the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon to health care. The two researchteams in Jordan and Lebanon have completed data collection and analysis as well asdissemination to policy makers, health professionals and the Bedouin communities.Pilot interventions in the areas of school based dental health promotion and trainingof health professionals have been evaluated and papers are under review and beingpublished. A report will be posted on cordis and the IoH website in April 2011.

Improving the Capacity of Healthcare Organisations to Act on Evidence inPatient Safety (2008-2009)

Funding body: WIMRC and EPSRCPI: Davide Nicolini (Warwick Business School)Justin Waring (Nottingham)Jacky Swan (Warwick Business School)Peter Spurgeon (Warwick Medical School)


The project investigated the practical problems and available solutions for healthcarepractitioners doing Root Cause Analysis. Our aim was to further the understanding ofhow this method is applied on the ground, what are the challenges it poses for theinvestigators and for the organization, whether it is perceived as useful, and whetherit generates organisational learning.

The research was a qualitative nature and was conducted by researchers from theWarwick Business School, the Warwick Medical School, and the School of Sociology& Social Policy of Nottingham University. The team was be actively supported byhigh level international Scientific Advisory Panel composed of academics, healthcareprofessionals, and safety experts from healthcare and other industries.

The research produced some ground breaking findings due to appear in publicationssuch as Social Science and Medicine, the Journal Of Health Services Research andPolicy, and british Medical Journal. A poster based on the results of the study wonfirst prize at the 2009 Annual research in patient Safety Nationa Conference.

The Organisational Practices of Knowledge Mobilisation at Top Manager Levelin the NHS (2011-2013)

Funding body: NIHR SDOPI: Davide Nicolini (Warwick Business School)Co-Investigator; John Powell (Warwick Medical School)

Ongoing challenges concerning ‘evidence-based’ decision-making have meant thatimproving the ways in which healthcare organisations exploit available evidencecontinues to be important. Though notable work has been done to understandknowledge mobilisation in the wider healthcare context, we have relatively lessinsight into the practices of knowledge sourcing and use by a critical group ofhealthcare practitioners: top NHS managers. The study will chart in detail theorganisational processes through which knowledge and evidence enter the routinework of these managers. By doing this, we hope our findings can inform the practiceof executive ‘evidence-based’ decision-making in the future.Data will be collected through interviews and observations at six Trusts in total. Ateach Trust, we will undertake interviews with executive managers, as well as withother staff we identify as relevant to understanding everyday executive knowledgemobilisation and use. We will also observe for an extended period of time (about twomonths) the process of daily knowledge use by shadowing individual executivemanagers, attending related meetings, and reviewing pertinent documentation.

Recent work includes -

David Ormandy and Véronique Ezratty are collaborating on pilot studies intoknowledge of indoor air quality among the student population and among housingassociation tenants (both funded by the Gas Safety Trust), and a review of health,energy, and energy precariousness.

Health Impact Assessment of the Decent Homes Programme - Localauthorities are responsible for delivering the Decent Homes Programme in theprivate sector - a programme of housing interventions to improve the housesoccupied by vulnerable households. David Ormandy, Stephen Battersby, andJohn Bryson, working with the Building Research Establishment, reviewed theactivities of six local authorities, comparing the one-off cost of the works toimprove houses with the estimated annual cost saving to the National HealthService. Download the report - Linking Housing Conditions and Health.

The real cost of poor housing - The relationship between poor housing andpoor health has been recognised for a long time, but it is only recently thatattempts have been made to estimate the cost to society attributable to poorhousing. This report proposes a new model for estimating the cost ofunsatisfactory housing conditions to the health sector. It uses data from theEnglish House Condition Survey on Hazards assessed using the HousingHealth and Safety Rating System to compare the one-off cost of mitigatinghazards with the annual cost saving to the National Health Serive. DavidOrmandy acted as consultant to the study. The report on the study is availablefrom IHS BRE Press. The real cost of poor housing ISBN 978-84806-115-6

Unintentional Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Dwellings - This was a pilotstudy in two countries, France and England carried out by Véronique Ezrattyand David Ormandy. The study reviewed the policies and practices in Franceand England with the aim of identifying good practice that could betransferable. The study also looked at information collected that could informpreventative policies and practices. The project provides a framework andfoundation for the comparison of policies, practices and actions in othercountries. The findings were presented at the Healthy Buildings conference2009. The paper can be downloaded here.

Large Analysis and Review of European housing and health Status(LARES) - This project was carried out during 2002 and 2003 and involvedsurveys of housing conditions and the self-report health status of residents ineight cities in eight countries in Europe. The data collected was analysed by agroup of international experts and gives new evidence and insights into linksbetween housing conditions and the health of residents. Both David Ormandyand Véronique Ezratty were involved in the study. Véronique Ezratty andcolleagues contributed a chapter and David Ormandy edited the book,Housing and Health in Europe: the WHO LARES project, published byRoutledge in April 2009. This gives an explanation of the project and provides


findings from analyses of the data collected on such subjects as domesticaccidents, energy and cold homes, damp and mould. (LARES were Romanguardian spirits of the house and fields.)

8.3 Applied Performance Group in Health and Social Care

Convenor: Claudette Bryanston

The Applied Theatre Research Group brings together people who have developed ashared interest in the uses of applied theatre in research and education. It grew outof work carried out for the SASPI (Southern Africa Stroke Prevention Initiative) by DrMaria Stuttaford and Professor Gillian Hundt after collaborating with ClaudetteBryanston on methodologies and approach to using participatory theatre. The projectused community theatre and storytelling at village meetings in order to disseminateand validate the research findings from this project.

Other more recent projects have included a Wellcome Trust funded play 'Inside View'on the dilemmas of genetic screening in early pregnancy from ESRC fundedresearch.. Scenes from this with training notes are available on the web site andhave been used in training health professionals.

Claudette Bryanston was awarded a Creative Fellowship at the CAPITAL centre tocarry out preparatory developmental work for a play on end of life care developedfrom the Burdett Trust research project on this topic. Scenes were developed throughdiscussion with health professionals, students researchers and a playwright (MikeKenny) and a performance given. Currently the Institute for Advanced Teaching andLearning has funded this team led by Claudette 'Bryanston to develop a rehearsedreading of 'Passing On' with a life size puppet provided by Little Angel Theatre. MikeKenny is writing the play with funding from Open Space Learning. This will beperformed in June 2011 to students and health professionals with a panel discussionand Little Angel has invited the production to be a part of the Suspense Festival ofAdult Puppetry in October 2011.

An evaluation of the work of Rosetta Life in the West Midlands was carried out bymembers of the group and currently a project on Movement and Touch with peoplewith neuro degenerative conditions is underway funded by Clore Social LeadershipTrust led by Lucinda Jarrett who is a Clore Leadership fellow and supported byGillian Hundt.

8.8 Healthcare Accountability

Convenor: Ann Christine Frandsen, Associate Professor of Accounting, WarwickBusiness School

During autumn 2010 a new group under the umbrella of the Institute of Health calledHealth Care Accountability was organised. We arranged our first official seminar tostart off our new network and research group. This was also an opportunity for us toshow up front the kind of interdisciplinary research interest we had in mind for thisgroup and to attract interest across the University.

On the 21st September the invited speaker was Dr Inga-Lill Johansson from theSchool of Business, Economics and Law, Gothenburg University, Sweden, giving apaper entitled Establishing Person-Centre Care – The Role of formal and personalaccountability. Dr Johansson’s current research includes ethnographic micro-studies of organizational practices and the role of trust in the communication ofaccounting information in health care organizations. The seminar was well attended,and initiated a lively discussion which addressed some important accountabilityquestions but also attracted people to sign up and join the group.

With this diverse group of people (in terms of research and institutional background)we now have a good set up to explore interesting ways of sharing our research inthe spirit of Healthcare Accountability across the University and beyond. Stayingwith the seminar format for our intellectual sharing, we have arranged a secondresearch seminar on 11th May 2011. This will be a joint seminar by Dr SimonaScarparo and Dr Ann-Christine Frandsen who are both from the Accounting Group


at Warwick Business School and have a long-standing research interest in the field.A title will be announced later.

8.9 Knowledge, Innovation and E-health

Co-convenors:Professor John Powell, Warwick Medical SchoolProfessor Jeremy Wyatt, Warwick Manufacturing Group, Institute of DigitalHealthcareFadhila Mazanderani, Warwick Medical School

The Knowledge, Innovation and Ehealth group is relaunching with a new seminarseries (two per term) and with new co-convenors Prof John Powell and FadhilaMazanderani of Warwick Medical School (WMS), and Prof Jeremy Wyatt of theInstitute of Digital Healthcare (IDH). The group aims to provide an interdisciplinaryforum for the discussion of knowledge management, innovation, and the use ofinformation and communication technologies in health care. It seeks to fosterresearch collaborations across the University in these areas, in particular bringingtogether staff from WMS, WMG, WBS and SHSS. Previous collaborations fosteredby this group have led to several cross-department grant funded research projectsbetween WBS and WMS in the areas of health care knowledge management andorganisational innovation.
