DESCRIPTION
The Public Services Management Group applies and develops a range of social science disciplines to empirical work relating to the changing organisation of public services and also to the effectiveness of public services delivery and regimes of regulation. It is theoretically interested in the role (and limitations) of the market and of networks in the public services and the changing nature of professional and managerial work. The group has strong links with policy makers and practitioners in the education and health fields. Members of the group hold or have recently held a significant number of ESRC, NIHR and EU awards.Current research areas include: Health & social care; Education & higher education; Transport policy; Training policy & human capital formation; Regulation systems & markets in public services delivery; the nature of management knowledge in public services organisations.

My research lies in the area of organisational change in the public services, especially in professionalized settings such as health care and universities. I am interested in New Public Management and post NPM narratives of public policy reforming and the changing roles of professionals and managers, including clinical/managerial hybrids. I have also worked on the implementation of Evidence Based Medicine.
I have recently completed a big study of health care networks and am currently working on the nature of management knowledge and knowledge mobilisation processes in health care in two projects funding by NIHR SDO. I have also published on the ‘Business School Business’ and have an interest in alternative organisational forms in the Business School field.

Juan's research focuses on health policy analysis. He has worked on various projects that have examined the impact of health reform programmes upon the macro, meso and micro levels of different health systems. Although much of his work has focused on the British NHS he has also carried out research in Chile, Mexico, Russia, Sweden and Australia. He is particularly interested in the impact of health reform upon the medical profession and how the medical profession influences health policy at the macro, meso and micro levels. Juan is currently engaged in an EU funded study that is investigating the implementation of research evidence into practice in stroke services in a number of EU countries.
