The human right to health and social care is often forgotten by governments and international bodies, and I am passionate to support work that brings it to the forth for research, policy and practice.
Between 2009 – 2024, I acted as the Editor-in-Chief for The International Journal of Human Rights in Healthcare, Emerald, previously titled Ethnicity and Inequalities in Health and Social Care Journal.
My most recent work involves partnering with the Buckinghamshire Health and Social Care Academy (BHSCA) and NHS England. Together, we run a research project, focusing on addressing health inequalities for autistic people and those faced with learning disabilities. The project tested whether the integration of the Oliver McGowan Training into Nursing & Midwifery Council approved pre-qualifying Curricula can better serve the aims of the Health and Care Act 2022, and help address health inequalities.
Moreover, I run a research programme that collected primary and secondary data that would help develop a Framework for Social Care nurses.This resulted in the publication of three books the latest one being Gavrielides, T. et al (2024). Developing a Framework for Social Care Nurses: Enhanced or Advanced Practice? A critical literature review, London: RJ4All Publications.
I also worked with the BHSCA, NHS England and the University of Surrey to run:
- the Preparation for Practice Placements project which aimed to pilot a resource for educators to prepare pre-registration healthcare learners for their first practice placement focusing on the non-clinical skill aspects of clinical practice
- the Aspirant Educator Masterclasses project to guide healthcare practitioners towards educator roles and give them insight into the range of roles and required preparation.
I am also a member of the UK Allied Health Professionals Leading InteGrated Care BetweeN Social Care and Health) Expert Reference Group.
In 2009, I worked with the UK Department of Health to help them create a national delivery plan to support justice in healthcare. This resulted in Gavrielides, T. (2009) “Review by human rights specialist of Improving Health, Supporting Justice: A National Delivery Plan” in Department of Health Equality Impact Assessment of Improving Health, Supporting Justice, Department of Health: London.
In 2007, I was asked by the UK Parliament to give oral evidence to their public inquiry on the treatment of older people by healthcare public sector providers. This resulted in Gavrielides, T. (2007) The Human Rights of older people in healthcare, Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights: London.
Finally, I worked with the UK Ministry of Justice (then Department for Constitutional Affairs) to introduce a Human Rights Strategy in health and social care services, resulting in some of the resources that you can find on this page.
