Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a viewpoint about why people with dementia should be able to choose Recovery and how this approach might be experienced by them. Design/methodology/approach This paper addresses some key challenges to accepting Recovery as an approach for people with dementia by making comparisons with people with mental health difficulties. It then discusses key concepts of Recovery using the connectedness, hope, identity, meaning and empowerment framework and how each one might be experienced by the person with dementia. Findings The challenges which cause concerns about the applicability of Recovery to people with dementia are shared by people with mental health difficulties, therefore Recovery should be perceived as an approach suitable for anyone regardless of their diagnosis. Recovery for people with dementia could mean: connecting to the self, others and the world to promote feelings of purposefulness; having hope for the here and now; preserving one’s identity; finding meaning in retaining skills and incorporating dementia into one’s life; and, feeling empowered by keeping one’s mind working, adopting a positive attitude, having control and making decisions. Practical implications People with dementia can choose to access Recovery, and commonly voiced concerns can be answered and supported with evidence. Originality/value This is one of the only papers written to provide an understanding of how Recovery might be experienced by people living with dementia, and directly answers some concerns.

PurposeThis paper evaluates the non‐healthcare organisational literature on conceptualisations of trust. The aim of the paper is to review this diverse literature, and to reflect on the potential insights it might offer healthcare researchers, policy makers and managers.Design/methodology/approachA number of the key concepts that contribute to contrasting definitions of trust in the organisational literature are identified.FindingsThe paper highlights the heterogeneity of trust as an organisational concept. Aspects of trust that relate more specifically to non‐healthcare settings are shown to have some potential relevance for healthcare. Five aspects of trust, considered to have particular significance to the changing face of the NHS, appear to offer scope for further exploration in healthcare settings.Practical implicationsThe NHS continues to face changes to its organisational structures, both planned and unplanned. Healthcare providers will need to be alert to intra‐ and inter‐organisational relationships, of which trust issues will form an inevitable part. Whilst it might be argued that the lessons offered by conceptualisations of trust within wider organisational settings have limitations, the paper demonstrates sufficient areas of overlap to encourage cross‐fertilisation of ideas.Originality/valueThe paper draws together previous research on a topic of increasing relevance to healthcare researchers, which has exercised management researchers for at least three decades. The paper acts as a guide to future research and practice.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to summarise key concepts within clinical governance by reference to literature, and to present the topic of statutory clinical governance inspections of hospitals. Design/methodology/approach – Conceptual paper in form of extended editorial; rapid, non-systematic review of basic clinical governance literature from UK, Republic of Ireland and Australia. Findings – The Mid-Staffordshire Hospitals report (Francis, 2013) is evidence that, more than 15 years after its inception, clinical governance in the UK has not yet fulfilled its mission. This report has stimulated the subjection of all NHS provider institutions to a statutory inspection regime. Two different yet complementary, authoritative perspectives on clinical governance are identified and discussed. Whilst the inspection regimes methodology is under review, the object of inspection is not. The object of inspection could usefully be broadened to bring the arms length planning and funding bodies associated with provision under closer scrutiny for their obligation to engage constructively and collaboratively with providers in difficulty. Research limitations/implications – A more extensive, systematic study of international literature will provide a foundation for international comparison studies which will enable participants in clinical governance to learn from each other. Practical implications – The information contained in this brief review will assist practices of governance inspection and local self-governance. Originality/value – Other studies (e.g. Brennan and Flynn 2013) have garnered definitions of clinical governance from other health systems, which tend to emphasise accountability as the key concept. Inspired by Halligan (2006), the present contribution stresses leadership and empowerment alongside accountability (in the sense of enabling “every clinical team to put quality at the heart of their moment-to moment care of patients”. It implies that accountability to “create an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish” should lie not only with individual clinical departments and healthcare provider institutions but also with funding and planning bodies such as the Clinical Commissioning Groups, recently introduced in the UK. The latter are not subject to the same inspection regime as providers but could usefully be made more accountable to engage constructively and collaboratively with providers in difficulty (Colin-Thomé, 2013).
