Series Statement:
Social Histories of Medicine
Content:
Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, 〈i〉Managing diabetes, managing medicine〈/i〉 offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.
Content:
"〈i〉Managing diabetes, managing medicine〈/i〉 examines the emergence of managed medicine in Britain. Through its study of diabetes care in the twentieth century, this book offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Whereas much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different – even conflicting – motives, doctors and nurses, national professional and patient bodies, British government agencies, and influential international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems in Britain; all working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change. By focusing on changes within the management of a single disease at the forefront of broader developments, 〈i〉Managing diabetes, managing medicine〈/i〉 is able to tie together British developments across a number of sites at different scales of change, from the very local innovations of single towns to the debates of specialists and professional leaders at international levels. Drawing on a broad range of archival materials, published journals and textbooks, newspapers and oral histories, this book develops fresh insights into the history of managed healthcare, the NHS, and post-war government more broadly. Providing an important window onto crucial features of modern British medicine and society, it will be of interest to scholars and students across a range of historical, sociological and political scientific disciplines." -- Back cover.
