Journal Article
Reeve, J., & Cooper, L. (2016). Rethinking how we understand individual healthcare needs for people living with long-term conditions: a qualitative study. Health and Social Care in the Community, 24(1), 27-38. https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.12175

It has been suggested that we need to ‘Think Differently’ about how we organise care for people with long‐term conditions. Current approaches prioritise reducing population disease burden, meaning health need is defined predominantly in terms of dise...

Attributions of cancer 'alarm' symptoms in a community sample (2014)
Journal Article
Whitaker, K. L., Scott, S. E., Winstanley, K., Macleod, U., & Wardle, J. (2014). Attributions of cancer 'alarm' symptoms in a community sample. PLoS ONE, 9(12), Article e114028. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0114028

The construction of anosognosia: History and implications (2014)
Journal Article
Marková, I. S., & Berrios, G. E. (2014). The construction of anosognosia: History and implications. Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior, 61, 9-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2014.09.011

The construction of anosognosia as a clinical ‘disorder’ resulted from the convergence (in the work of various writers and culminating in Babinski) of a name, a concept, and a clinical phenomenon. During the early stages of this convergence, unawaren... Read More about The construction of anosognosia: History and implications.

Patient, carer and professional perspectives on barriers and facilitators to quality care in advanced heart failure (2014)
Journal Article

Phenomena of awareness in dementia: Heterogeneity and its implications (2014)
Journal Article

Despite much research on the relationship between awareness and dementia little can be concluded concerning their relationship and the role of other factors. It is likely that studies capture different phenomena of awareness. This study aimed at iden... Read More about Phenomena of awareness in dementia: Heterogeneity and its implications.
