Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Moore details how local institutions, public health practitioners, and managerial bodies within the NHS interacted with one another within shifting political, economic, and cultural contexts.

Moore provides a   fascinating history both of the NHS and the post-war management of chronic disease… Moore’s account is well-documented and engaging, and this particular history of diabetes is both compelling and imperative. Its insight con­tributes significant understanding of the rise of surveillance medicine, and the resulting responsibility and expectations placed on both patients and their practitioners evident today.'\u003cbr\u003eJournal of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of abbreviations \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Managing diabetes, managing medicine \u003cbr\u003e1 Chronicity and the care team in Britain’s New Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e2 Diabetes, risk management, and the birth of modern primary care\u003cbr\u003e3 The making of integrated care\u003cbr\u003e4 Retinopathy screening and the new politics of prevention\u003cbr\u003e5 Constructing standards at a time of crisis\u003cbr\u003e6 Making managerial policy in the neoliberal moment\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040982237527,"sku":"9781526113078","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526113078.jpg?v=1750948489","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/managing-diabetes-managing-medicine-chronic-disease-and-clinical-bureaucracy-in-post-war-britain-9781526113078","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
