An instalment in the Politics of Care In the Beginning For nearly 200 years, concerns about individual and public Health have been a badge for progressive politics.

From Stephen O’Neill to the Crack of Doom

May 31, 2021 9 Comments

This is the first link to the Politics of Care forum.  Comments on this post ideally need to centre on reports of actions - outlines of  actions that will make a difference or details of what has resulted from efforts to follow up on the leads here.

Generalists and Partialists

February 13, 2017 18 Comments

An issue that crops up in comments on both this and the RxISK blog is the question of whether treatment would be safer if given by specialists (partialists) rather than general practitioners (generalists). We wouldn't have the problems with antidepressants and antipsychotics for instance many people seem to think if prescribing was done by psychiatrists rather than GPs.

The Boy With The Ponytail Who Played With Fire

January 9, 2013 15 Comments
