The significance of facial shaving as fundamental nursing care

Lizzie Ette and Mark Gretton have had their article about male facial shaving published in the Nursing Times. This article was inspired by their own reflective discussions, and the realisation of how little is written on the topic, despite its significance to many male patients.

The onset of the quadruple burden of disease in South Africa, the challenges faced by the medical establishment to curtail the rapid growth of multiple epidemics, the inadequate response by the state to various inequities in the health system, and the public debates associated with it, have all combined to draw attention to the sociological aspects of health and disease. Sociology as a resource of knowledge and a unique analytical and conceptual perspective can be used to understand, explain and positively infl uence the course of health and disease in South African society and our responses to it.

Social prescribing evaluation

Jo Bell, Judith Dyson, Marie Reid and Caroline White have been funded by Hull CCG and City Council to conduct an evaluation of the social prescribing service in Hull. This will take place over two years, ending in December 2020. Social prescribing, which aims to improve mental health and well-being, is a key element of the new NHS Plan, so this is an exciting opportunity to explore a developing innovation in primary care.

Developing autoethnography at Hull

Dear FHS colleagues

A few of us at UoH got together recently to talk about our shared interest in autoethnography. A small group but we wondered if there were more people on and around campus who might be interested in exploring this approach to inquiry and writing with a view to developing a community. To this end, we are planning to put on a workshop to introduce and explore autoethnography with those interested. I would like to get a rough estimate of the numbers in FHS for venue and biscuit planning purposes (yes, there will be biscuits). Please do let me know if you are using or contemplating autoethnography in your work or if you are just interested in finding out about it and would like to attend. For anyone wishing to find out more now, Ellis et al (2011) is not a bad place to start.

Best wishes

On 23 January 2019 a study day organised by Esme Moniz-Cook was held in Leeds. The conference was addressed by Emma Wolverson, amongst others, on the CAREGIVER-PRO Study and she also contributed to a workshop on the theme of: 'Experience as an Early Career Researcher'.

Amanda Tortice

Amanda Tortice, Chief Operating Officer, Yorkshire and Humber Clinical Research Network said: 'I attended a Dementia Research Day hosted by our Dementia Clinical Lead, Professor Esme Moniz-Cook, in Leeds earlier this week. It was great to see so many primary care staff there, in particular. There’s a real desire amongst that population to get involved in research, which is really heartening.'
