Published in co-operation with the Society for Studies in Organizing
Healthcare (SHOC), this series has two strands, the first of which con-
sists of specially selected papers taken from the biennial conferences
held by SHOC that present a cohesive and focused insight into issues
within the field of organizational behaviour in healthcare.
The series also encourages proposals for monographs and edited col-
lections to address the additional and emergent topics in the field of
health policy, organization and management. Books within the series
aim to advance scholarship on the application of social science theories,
methods and concepts to the study of organizing and managing health-
care services and systems.
Providing a new platform for advanced and engaged scholarship,
books in the series will advance the academic community by fostering
a deep analysis on the challenges for healthcare organizations and man-
agement with an explicitly international and comparative focus.

Notes on Contributors
Juan I. Baeza is senior lecturer in Health Policy at King’s Business
School. His research focuses on analysing health policy and health sec-
tor reform in the UK and internationally. Juan has worked on a number
of research projects in both primary and secondary health care in the
UK and internationally. These include a study that evaluated the imple-
mentation of sustainable TB services in Russia, an SDO research pro-
ject studying the roles and relationships in various NHS settings, a large
research programme into Aboriginal health in Australia and a study into
the implementation of research into practice in stroke services across the

Simon Bailey is Research Associate at the Centre for Health Services
Studies, University of Kent. His research interests are in the adoption
of new knowledge, practices, technologies and roles and the manner in
which these become embedded and institutionalised within healthcare
organisations. My research expertise is in qualitative, ethnographic and
arts-based methods. My research is strongly inter-disciplinary, spanning
medical and organisational sociology, work and employment studies,
education, and knowledge mobilisation and implementation. My work

the changing relationships between organisations following changes in
