PhD Studentship: Collaboration in a Cold Climate: Integrated Care Systems in England's Health and Care Sector - London, United Kingdom - King's College London
Description
Entry: October 2024
This fully-funded studentship will investigate the challenges of collaborating in today's health and social care sector. A collaboration between KCL and South East London Integrated Care System (SEL ICS), it will offer a student the opportunity to explore some of the most pressing challenges facing contemporary public sectors. It will be supervised by Dr Sam van Elk, Dr Kalpa Kharicha and Dr Alec Fraser at KCL with additional support from SEL ICS. The studentship will offer close links to the NIHR Health and Social Care Workforce Policy Research Unit (based in the KCL Policy Institute), which works closely with the Department for Health and Social Care. It would represent an excellent opportunity for those on a pathway towards an academic career; or to someone with experience in health and/or social care interested in further study.
The project
As public organisations face intensifying operational and financial pressures, collaboration is increasingly touted as the answer to their challenges. While research affirms that collaboration can ease such pressures, it warns that those same pressures can make collaboration all-the-harder to achieve. Accordingly, it is vital to understand how public organisations can navigate such challenges to reap collaboration's benefits. Researching this is tricky: organisations who collaborate are self-selecting, so are often those facing atypically small barriers to doing so. Focusing on them would offer an artificially positive picture of attempts to collaborate amidst such pressures.
This project addresses this challenge through a study of an ICS. These new, geographical groupings of health and care organisations are required to collaborate against a background of operational and financial pressures. With ICS membership mandated by law, these collaborators are not self-selecting, so likely face a range of different challenges. Understanding the barriers to collaborating amidst operational and financial pressures and how people navigate them will support both the ICS being studied and other organisations seeking collaboration in today's public sector.
This collaborative studentship will involve working closely not only with your academic team, but also with the organisations that you study. Regular rounds of feedback to them, and responsiveness to their pressing questions will be as important as producing high-quality, independent academic research. Through its links to the Policy Institute, the studentship will also offer the student clear routes to communicate their findings to policy actors. As such, it will represent an ideal opportunity to develop the collaboration and policy impact skills vital in contemporary academia.
Candidates should have a strong background in qualitative social scientific research, with an undergraduate or higher degree in a relevant social science, health or social care discipline. We particularly welcome applications from those with experience of studying collaboration; financial and/or operational challenges; or of working in the health and social care sector.
