CALL FOR PAPERS
THE SOCIAL ORGANISATION OF HEALTHCARE WORK
Davina Allen (University of Wales College of Medicine)
Alison Pilnick (University of Nottingham).
Carolyn Wiener (University of California, San Francisco)
Outline proposals for contributions are invited for the eleventh
monograph in the series published by Sociology of Health and Illness,
in conjunction with Blackwell Publishers, in the year 2005. The
monograph aims to build on the strong tradition of studies of health
care organisation in medical sociology and develop further the links
with the sociology of the professions, health policy, and division of
labour; organisational sociology, health services management;
language and communication studies and studies of technically
mediated collaborative work. Possible areas for contributions are:
* Healthcare organisations (public/private/voluntary, virtual) and
their inter-relationships
* Divisions of labour (occupations, professions, unwaged caregivers,
healthcare labour markets)
* Service delivery and organisation (teamwork, patient/professional
interaction, temporal/spatial dimensions, human/machine interaction,
e-health developments)
* Consumerism and new models of patienthood.
* The impact of policy developments on the social organisation of
healthcare work in national and international contexts.
Potential contributors should send an outline proposal for papers (up
to 800 words) to co-editor of the monograph, Davina Allen, Nursing,
Health and Social Care Research Centre, East Gate House, 35-43
Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0AB by November 28th 2003. Email
submission is encouraged ([log in to unmask]) and all eventual paper
submissions must also be in electronic form. International
submissions are particularly encouraged. The monograph will appear
both as a regular issue of the journal and in book form.
All proposals will be reviewed and notifications of the outcome will
be given by January 16th 2004. Those invited to contribute to the
monograph will be asked to submit articles of between 6,000-7,000
words by June 30th 2004, following the journal's stylistic
guidelines, so that they can be refereed in the usual way. It is
planned to publish the monograph in September 2005.
