But despite concerted methodological efforts, there has simply not been the degree and breadth of innovation that Porter envisaged. Patients’ voices still often remain obscured. This has resulted in part from assumptions about the limitations of archives, many of which are formed of institutional records written from the perspective of health professionals. Patient voices in Britain repositions patient experiences at the centre of healthcare history, using new types of sources and reading familiar sources in new ways. Focusing on military medicine, Poor Law medicine, disability, psychiatry and sexual health, this collection encourages historians to tackle the ethical challenges of using archival material and to think more carefully about how their work might speak to persistent health inequalities and challenges in health-service delivery.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmContributor: Jessica Meyer (Edited by), Anne Hanley (Edited by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Social Histories of MedicineTopic: MedicineItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 567gAuthor: Jessica MeyerRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
