Sociology of Health & Illness <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14679566> is an international journal which publishes sociological articles on all aspects of health, illness, medicine and health care. We welcome empirical and theoretical contributions in this field in the form of original research reports or review articles. In addition to the seven regular issues published each year, subscribers receive a further special issue. These themed issues aim to identify and contribute to new areas of debate and research in the discipline and each issue is devoted to an important topic of current interest.
The journal is owned by the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness<http://www.shifoundation.org.uk/?page_id=8> , a UK charity, established in December 1999<http://www.shifoundation.org.uk/?page_id=18> registered with the Charity Commission. Its objectives<http://www.shifoundation.org.uk/?page_id=20>, as set out in the Memorandum of Association, are for the public benefit to promote and improve social scientific research, education and scholarship in the field of the sociology of health and illness.
We are currently renewing our editorial board and are seeking three individuals at all career stages who wish to take an active role in the life of SHI.
