  • Supporting Reflective Processes with Students: Insights from a Review of Research
    Supporting reflective processes with students: insights from a review of research Peter Kahn, University of Manchester Context This briefing note is intended for staff within higher education whose students engage in reflective processes as part of their learning. We offer a framework that tutors may employ to help shape the way in which their students carry out such processes. The framework was developed during a review of research studies pertinent to professional education, with a particular focus on new academic staff. Introduction: streams of consciousness or genuine learning? The notion of ‘reflection’, by which we broadly mean the extended consideration of problematic aspects of knowledge or practice, is now widely employed across higher education, especially in professional contexts and in personal development planning for students. Reflection, for instance, may be used to help an individual understand their professional practice or to gain insights into their progress against a set of personal goals. The conceptual overview for the review, however, highlighted the open-ended nature of this notion, with theorists further identifying various forms of reflection. For instance, van Manen (1977) refers to technical reflection, which concerns the examination of the means that have been used to achieve certain goals, practical reflection, which also involves consideration of the ends themselves, and critical reflection, which addresses judgments on such issues as the underlying ethics and the wider social environment. The review also emphasizes the challenge that students may face in learning how to engage in such complex thought processes. For one thing, it is difficult to sustain a problematic focus over an extended period, especially when there might be uncomfortable implications for one’s own professional practice or approach to life.

  • Greater Manchester, New Hampshire
    Greater Manchester, New Hampshire Health Improvement Plan 2016 with support from the City of Manchester Health Department and the Greater Manchester Public Health Network WORKING TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE GREATER MANCHESTER REGION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Manchester Health Department and the Greater Manchester Public Health Network are pleased to present the first Health Improvement Plan for the Greater Manchester Public Health Region. Our collective vision is to transform public health in our region to an integrated system capable of seamless collaborations among all healthcare providers and public safety personnel with constructive engagement of patients, families, and communities. Through this integrated system, all people will have equitable access to timely, comprehensive, cost-effective, high-quality, and compassionate care. Public health is the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health within groups of people-- from small communities to entire countries. Public Health is YOUR health. It embodies everything from clean air to safe food and water, access to healthcare and safer communities. Through public health planning and prevention initiatives, the public gets sick less frequently, children grow to become healthy adults through adequate resources including health care, and our community reduces the impact of disasters by preparing people for the effects of catastrophes such as hurricanes, floods and terrorism. In preparing this Plan, the Public Health Network and its workgroups have reviewed needs assessments, utilizing data from many different sources such as community focus groups, key stakeholder interviews, and surveys. Building on this information, needs have been prioritized and work plans have been developed. This Health Improvement Plan identifies needs, goals, measurable objectives, and strategies to help us as we work together on solutions to important issues facing our community.

Executive Summary A summary of the findings detailed in this document Executive Summary Introduction Healthwatch England is the national consumer champion in health and care, with significant statutory powers to ensure the voice of the consumer is strengthened and heard by those who commission, deliver and regulate health and care services. The nationally-focused Healthwatch England works with 152 community-focused local Healthwatch to ensure consumers’ views are represented at both levels. This project aimed to involve local Healthwatch in Greater Manchester in collecting the public’s views on how they would like to receive services in the future and share this with the network. Greater Manchester was chosen as the first area of devolution for health and social care services. Local Healthwatch staff were involved throughout the process, to learn about deliberative engagement by taking part in the planning and facilitation of a series of deliberative events with members of the Greater Manchester population. DJS Research and Healthwatch worked together to plan and carry out three consultation events (one in Stockport, one in Oldham and one in Bolton), each with circa.
