Abstract:

General practice is central to primary care in the Australian health system, yet difficulties proving the value of general practice are ongoing. Advocates of general practice often refer to a key role general practitioners (GPs) play in health system gatekeeping to emphasise the importance of general practice within the system. However, the concept of gatekeeping lacks clarity, and this may lead to unintended consequences for general practice. This thesis explores the concept of gatekeeping within the Australian health system by considering the expectations of general practice held by policym

Abstract:

This research attempts to contribute to the discipline of management practice by studying the behaviour of a specific group of low paid workers. Evidence has been gathered, via an ethnographic study of three groups of cleaners in three different types of organisation – clinic, school and hotel, about the employment relationships enjoyed by these cleaners and their employers; and the extent to which their psychological contracts contribute to their performance. Findings suggest that, not only do employees in each case study demonstrate diverse behaviour, but also certain facets of performance a

Abstract:

Insomnia, with many serious health consequences associated with it, continues to be under-recognised and under-treated due to inadequate treatment strategies. Given the robust evidence for behavioural strategies, these are not considered as first-line treatment approaches to be offered as stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with pharmacotherapy. The widespread chronic use of pharmacotherapy for insomnia continues, and this is a costly departure from evidence.
