How does the need to obtain and deliver health services engender particular (im)mobility forms? And how is mobility experienced and imagined when it is required for healthcare access or delivery? Guided by these questions, Healthcare in Motion explores the dynamic interrelationship between mobility and healthcare, drawing on case studies from across the world and shedding light on the day-to-day practices of patients and professionals.
“This collection constitutes an important contribution to the study of (im)mobility in healthcare. The mobilities of patients, healthcare professionals, and services, as well as cases in which such mobilities are precluded, critically influence the configurations of therapeutic contexts. The impact of (im)mobilities on healthcare and the ways in which they can intersect with gender, class, migratory status, and (dis)ability are explored over ten chapters. The introductions to the three parts include questions for further reflection, making Healthcare in motion particularly useful for didactic purposes… The scholarly interest of the individual chapters and the broader theoretical framework proposed by the editors make it a useful reference text for (im)mobility and health researchers.” • JRAI
“A beautifully conceived and delivered book.” • Margaret Grieco, Edinburgh Napier University
