This edited volume originates in the 2011 conference of the
International Network for the History of Hospitals, held in Lisbon
and Evora, Portugal. It focuses on how institutions for the care
and cure of the sick have organised their activities at every
level, from the delegation of medical treatments between groups of
practitioners, to the provision of food and supplies and the impact
of convalescence on lengths of hospital stays. It draws on new
European and North American research which highlights an area of
medical history that has not yet had adequate, sustained attention,
discussing the tensions between theory and practice and between
patients and practitioners. Through detailed case studies and
comparative analyses it explores the changing and evolving
understanding of the function of hospitals, and their wider
relationships with their communities.
