Job description: Research Associate - The Moving Frontier:
voluntary and municipal hospital services in inter-war Britain
The research associate will work under the direction of Dr John Mohan
on a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust on 'The moving frontier:
voluntary and municipal hospital services in inter-war Britain'. The
project will provide a reassessment of the development of municipal
hospital provision and of the public-private mix for health care in
the inter-war years. The project involves collaboration with
Martin Gorsky (Univ of Wolverhampton from April 1999; the present
post-holder) and Martin Powell (University of Bath).
The principal duties will involve archival work on a series of local
case studies of municipal hospital development, and of relationships
between municipal hospitals and the voluntary sector. Sources
used will include local authority reports and minutes, voluntary
hospital reports and accounts, and Ministry of Health papers and
correspondence relating in particular to the surveys of health
services undertaken after the 1929 Local Government Act. This work
will therefore involve travel to record offices in selected
locations, as well as to the Public Records Office. In addition there
will be a limited amount of statistical work drawing on a database
of information on voluntary and municipal hospital provision,
activity and finance. The postholder will also be expected to be
able to draft papers arising from the project.
For further information on the project please contact John Mohan on
