“This impressive collection of case studies documenting many of the key developments in UK health policy over recent decades has been compiled by a distinguished group of analysts. It is to be greatly welcomed for the fascinating insights it provides.” David Hunter, Professor of Health Policy and Management, Durham University
“This book presents an impressive collection of case studies that shed light on health policy processes and issues. Written by expert contributors from the field, it will be particularly useful to students and lecturers in health policy.” Rob Baggott, De Montfort University
About this book
This collection examines the role that case-studies play in understanding and explaining British health policy. Overall, the chapters cover the key health policy literatures in terms of the policy process, analytical frameworks and some of the seminal moments of the NHS. They have been written by leading health policy researchers in sociology, social policy, management and organisation studies. The collection explores and promotes the case-study as an under-used method and thereby encourages a more reflective approach to policy learning by practitioners and academics. The book will appeal to under-graduates, post-graduates and academics in social policy, public management and health services research.

The Health Policy & Politics Network (HPPN) is successor to the Politics of Health Group that has been run for the last 20 years or so in the form of a special interest group of the Political Studies Association. HPPN has now become independent in order more easily to encourage interdisciplinary working. HPPN aims to provide a forum for the reporting of research and analytical discussion about any aspect of the politics of health, health care policy or health services management and to facilitate the development of informal and collaborative relationships between academics and interested practitioners working in the above fields.
We invite submission of paper presentations to this free one-day event on any topic related to health politics, policy or management. Speakers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion/questions.
To propose a paper, please submit an abstract to Alison Hann (a.p.hann@swansea.ac.uk) by 31st January 2012.
