Abstract

The Walsall clinic for survivors of myocardial infarction is described. Coronary heart disease is a major health issue in Walsall. The starting point for the project was the publication of the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) in 1994, which showed the benefit of cholesterol treatment in these patients. Although the new clinic was established primarily to implement a 4S‐based regime, the cholesterol regime has been modified in the light of newer evidence, and the service broadened to encompass cardiological assessment and the use of other forms of secondary prevention. Several factors have contributed to the success of the service, including support from the Health Authority, patient involvement, partnership with Primary Care and the use of information technology. The latter has integrated routine clinical record keeping and correspondence with complete prospective audit data accumulation and measurement of performance against evidence‐based standards. These principles are of potential value in other clinical effectiveness initiatives.

Abstract

It is now forty years since there appeared H. R. Plomer's first volume Dictionary of the booksellers and printers who were at work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667. This has been followed by additional Bibliographical Society publications covering similarly the years up to 1775. From the short sketches given in this series, indicating changes of imprint and type of work undertaken, scholars working with English books issued before the closing years of the eighteenth century have had great assistance in dating the undated and in determining the colour and calibre of any work before it is consulted.

Abstract

This study presents an investigation of the communicative behaviors and strategies employed in the stimulation and management of productive and destructive conflict in culturally heterogeneous workgroups. Using communication accommodation theory (CAT), we argue that the type and course of conflict in culturally heterogeneous workgroups is impacted by the communicative behaviors and strategies employed by group members during interactions. Analysis of data from participant observations, non‐participant observations, semi‐structured interviews, and self‐report questionnaires support CAT‐based predictions and provide fresh insights into the triggers and management strategies associated with conflict in culturally heterogeneous workgroups. In particular, results indicated that the more groups used discourse management strategies, the more they experienced productive conflict. In addition, the use of explanation and checking of own and others' understanding was a major feature of productive conflict, while speech interruptions emerged as a strategy leading to potential destructive conflict. Groups where leaders emerged and assisted in reversing communication breakdowns were better able to manage their discourse, and achieved consensus on task processes. Contributions to the understanding of the triggers and the management of productive conflict in culturally heterogeneous workgroups are discussed.
