“…For the system of regulation to be responsive, having the voice of those regulated heard is critical. The importance of expanding the “ regulatory conversation ” beyond the expert regulators to include those who are the subject of regulation and their “ lived experience ” of regulation is recognized [ 40 , 41 ]. Both in Ireland and elsewhere, the dearth of published literature on the assessment of the impact of regulation on health professionals, may be due to the fact that study of the regulation of health professionals does not have a robust and well-defined identity as an academic discipline or field of study [ 42 ].…”

Background Reforms to models of health and care regulation internationally have adapted to address the challenges associated with regulating healthcare professionals. Pharmacists in Ireland entered a new era of regulation with the enactment of the Pharmacy Act in 2007 which significantly updated the law regulating pharmacy in Ireland and expanded the regulatory scope considerably. An earlier study in 2017 examined the experiences of 20 community pharmacists of the Act. This follow-up study aimed to expand the scope of the original study to all community pharmacists in Ireland, to report their “lived experience” of the regulatory model introduced by the Act, assessing its impact on their professional practice using the principles of “better regulation”. Methods Survey methodology was used to assess the perception of all community pharmacists registered with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland of the Act, as implemented, on their practice using an experimental design based on the seven principles of “Better Regulation”. Descriptive statistics analyzed quantitative responses while answers from open-ended questions were analyzed using a combination of a modified framework analysis and a qualitative content analysis. Results Respondents agreed that the Act was necessary, although its implementation by the regulator was largely not viewed as fulfilling the remaining “Better Regulation” principles of being effective, proportional, consistent, agile, accountable and transparent. In particular, its proportionality was questioned. This resulted in pharmacists perceiving that their professional competency to act in the best interests of their patients was not appropriately acknowledged by the regulator, which in turn compromised their ability to provide optimal care for their patients. Conclusion While healthcare professional regulation must primarily be concerned with public protection, it must also have regard to its impact on those delivering healthcare services. The findings highlight the challenge internationally of balancing rigidity and flexibility in professional health and care regulation, and the importance of a regulatory conversation occurring between those regulating and those regulated. This would serve to promote mutual learning and understanding to create a responsive approach to regulation, underpinned by mutual trust, effective risk assessment and adherence to the principles of “Better Regulation”.

“…43 But we must not forget that the chronicler in this instance was also one of Tart's primary avenues of assimilation, Margaret Scarlett, originally of Liverpool, whom he married in 1886. 44 Scarlett's tales of her husband's successes certainly suggest that she, at least, felt that his class identity took precedence over his racial origins. She described his comportment as completely in accord with the self-improvement that pervaded much of the Victorian discourse on respectability, a discourse that revolved explicitly around class distinctions and gender norms.…”

What little has been written about Chinese immigrants in the British Empire has focused mainly on laborers, commonly known as “coolies,” and their roles in imperial society, culture, and industry. Chinese commercial immigrants, though they loomed large in public dialogues about race, migration, and empire, have been virtually ignored. This article examines how such immigrants were represented, and how two prominent individuals represented themselves, in London and metropolitan Australia, respectively, during a high tide of British imperialism and Chinese global migration. By the 1920s, the ardent pro-British sentiment expressed by Mei Quong Tart, thede factorepresentative of the Chinese merchant class in Australia, had been superseded by the anti-colonial critique of Lao She, one of China's foremost modern novelists. Lao She's semi-autobiographical depiction of Chinese life in London condemned the violent and emasculating character of British imperialism, while also excoriating Chinese society's failure to modernize, cohere as a nation, and overcome internecine class conflicts. Both authors were concerned with social relations between Chinese men and white British women, as were British commentators throughout this period, and with differentiating themselves from laboring Chinese immigrants. Contrary to Stuart Hall's famous assertion that “race is the modality through which class is lived,” for these Chinese commercial immigrants class and gender proved to be more essential than were crude concepts of race to their experiences and self-identification, and ultimately to British society's rejection of their attempts to assimilate.
