Our title, ‘Healthcare in the round’, reflects two key perspectives on improving health services. First, we wish to ‘close the loop’ between the introduction of an innovation and measuring its uptake and impact. Second, we are seeking to explore how decisions about health services might be ‘rounded out’ if the ethical dimensions, economic implications and community’s views on what is being proposed were routinely considered in deciding what changes to make to existing patterns of care.
