Methods: Patients suspected of having p... Read More about Evaluating the Role of Ultrasound in Prostate Cancer trial – phase 1: Early experience of micro-ultrasound in the United Kingdom.

Examining the knowledge work of person-centred care: Towards epistemic reciprocity (2022)
Journal Article
Dell'Olio, M., Whybrow, P., & Reeve, J. (2023). Examining the knowledge work of person-centred care: Towards epistemic reciprocity. Patient Education and Counseling, 107, Article 107575. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pec.2022.107575

Objective: It is increasingly recognised that when healthcare staff fails to give adequate credence to patients' illness-related knowledge work, this epistemic injustice undermines person-centred care. Therefore, we set out to examine the experiences... Read More about Examining the knowledge work of person-centred care: Towards epistemic reciprocity.

Endoscopic urethrotomy versus open urethroplasty for men with bulbar urethral stricture: the OPEN randomised trial cost-effectiveness analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Shen, J., Vale, L., Goulao, B., Whybrow, P., Payne, S., Watkin, N., & OPEN trial investigators. (2021). Endoscopic urethrotomy versus open urethroplasty for men with bulbar urethral stricture: the OPEN randomised trial cost-effectiveness analysis. BMC Urology, 21(1), Article 76. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-021-00836-1

Abstract
Background: Bulbar urethral stricture is a common cause for urinary symptoms in men and its two main treatment options both have drawbacks with little evidence on their relative cost-efectiveness. Current guidelines on
the management of re... Read More about Endoscopic urethrotomy versus open urethroplasty for men with bulbar urethral stricture: the OPEN randomised trial cost-effectiveness analysis.

‘It's just one of those natural progressions': Stories of relocating to neighbourhoods of high and low walkability (2021)
Journal Article
Whybrow, P., Bramley, G., & Brown, C. (2021). ‘It's just one of those natural progressions': Stories of relocating to neighbourhoods of high and low walkability. Health and Place, 69, Article 102509. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.healthplace.2021.102509

Walkable neighbourhood characteristics, such as connectivity and land use mix, have been found to correlate with people walking more and being active. However, the relationship between the built environment and behaviour is highly complex making it d...

Objective
To compare the effe... Read More about Surgical Treatment for Recurrent Bulbar Urethral Stricture: A Randomised Open-label Superiority Trial of Open Urethroplasty Versus Endoscopic Urethrotomy (the OPEN Trial).
