Inaugural lecture of Professor Andrew Thompson, 20 February 2012. Event details Lecture title: "The State of the Citizenry: views from the communities" Date: 20 February 2012, 5pm Venue: Auditorium lecture theatre, Business School Lecture abstract This lecture will address the relationship between the State, as manifested through public sector services, and its citizens. The focus is on how citizens interpret and make sense of their citizenship in the context of health care, as individuals and members of diverse and overlapping communities. Concepts of involvement, participation and deliberation, which are central to debates over democratic governance and stakeholder society, are considered from the perspectives of patients, members of civil society organisations and unengaged members of the public. Mutual forms of service delivery, such as co-production, co-management and co-governance, are explored in relation to improving the quality of health services to deliver effective, patient-centred outcomes. Mixed methods are highlighted to exemplify the importance of a broad palette of forms of data and associated analyses and interpretations. Lecture video HTML This article was published on 2024-08-28
