Dear Colleagues, please circulate the following call as you find most appropriate.
Call for abstracts:"Patient-centred care and public involvement in health technologies"Organisers:Cláudia de Freitas (ISCTE-IUL/ISPUP), Alicia Renedo (LSHTM), Susana Silva (ISPUP)
at ESA Sociology of Health and Illness Mid-term Conference19-21 May 2016, Lisbon There is increasing emphasis in making healthcare governance participatory. Pressure to develop more sustainable and quality healthcare systems and innovative technologies is calling upon the development of policies and services centred on patients’ values, needs and preferences. As a result, efforts to implement patient-centred care have spurred the creation of participatory spaces where lay people are invited to have a voice on healthcare governance. This has implications for the social organisation of healthcare: managers, professionals and staff must adjust to working together with service users in planning, designing and implementing changes in healthcare. However, there has been little reflection upon the sociological conceptualisation of patient-centred care and on how public involvement can contribute to its development, as well as to the implementation of quality healthcare. This session invites contributions on these subjects, with particular attention to the evolving field of health technologies. Deadline: 30 November 2015Announcement of accepted abstracts: 30 December 2015Conference website: http://esa-rn16.blogspot.pt Please submit your abstract by email to: [log in to unmask] with a copy to [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask] Abstracts must be submitted as an email attachment in the format of a word file and must be prepared in the following style: preferred session; title of the paper; name of author(s), institutional affiliation and email address; followed by an abstract of no more than 200 words.
