Healthcare And The Troubles

This book provides the first detailed study of healthcare during the period of the Troubles in Northern Ireland (1968–1998). While there have been some studies of the effects of conflict in the context of Northern Ireland, to date there have been no in-depth histories of the impact of the Troubles on healthcare and the experiences of healthcare professionals. Ruth Duffy's work combines analysis of archival research and oral history interviews to reveal the widespread impact of the conflict on healthcare facilities, their staff, and patients, as well as the broader societal implications of providing services during the Troubles. The book allows the voices of those who worked on the frontline to be heard for the first time, as well as exploring important issues such as medical ethics and neutrality. It offers new and valuable insights into the cost of the Northern Ireland conflict and its legacy today.

For more than 30 years, starting in the late 1980s, a little known overseas development initiative unfolded, involving dozens of health sector management and reform projects all around the world. This initiative began under the auspices of Nicare, the international agency of the Northern Ireland health service, and subsequently transferred to the Healthcare Research and Development Group at Ulster University. The projects have ranged from reform of the highly-centralised health services of the Former Soviet Union to total management of the health services of St Helena and Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic.It is not the aim of this book to document or describe all of this activity; rather it is to give an insight into the everyday experiences of the people involved in managing a number of the projects and to do so in an entertaining way. The story cannot be told without including a certain amount of technical detail about the projects and what they were trying to achieve but the emphasis is very much on the unusual and amusing things that happened along the way.
