Knowledge, technology and nursing: The case of NHS Direct
Abstract
NHS Direct is a relatively new, nurse-based, 24-hour health advice line run as part of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). The service delivers health advice remotely via the telephone. A central aspect of the service is the attempt to provide a standard level of health advice regardless of time, space or the background of the nurse. At the heart of this attempt is an innovative health software called CLINICAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CAS). Using a number of qualitative methods, this article highlights how the interaction between the nursing staff and this technology is key to the service. The technology is based on management’s attempt to standardize and control the caller–nurse relationship. Thus the software can be seen as part of an abstract rationality, whereas how it is deployed by nurses is based on a practical rationality that places practice and experience ?rst and sees the technology and protocols as tools.

Medical Missions to Peru
The Medical Missions to Peru are a join effort of Solidaridad en Marcha (SEM) with a large group of volunteers from North America and Latin America. In some trips, we join efforts with the Canadian organization Solidarity Experiences Abroad, Inc. Our missions seek to help people in material and spiritual need, according to their dignity and human rights.
Volunteers are the basic unit of all our medical mission trips. You can help as a health care professional (doctor, nurse or pharmacist) or you can volunteer in other ways to support the mission, such as collecting donations, packing medicines, calling people, traveling with us to help in the field, etc.
