Biography

Daniel Boethius is a PhD student at Linköping University, focusing on how healthcare professionals navigate ambiguous governance in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on palliative care practices. His dissertation, titled 'Ambiguous Governance Practice: Collegial Interactions and Deliberations in Palliative Care', explores the integrated forms of knowledge that develop through collegial interactions in practice. This research emphasizes the everyday decision-making situations that healthcare professionals confront, where they often have to balance formal requirements with informal decision-making processes. Boethius utilizes ethnographic studies to investigate the daily work of healthcare staff, examining how the time and place of interactions impact decision-making in complex scenarios that require careful prioritization of limited resources. He aims to shed light on the informal activities that healthcare professionals engage in to manage decisions that can be critical and unpredictable, highlighting the significance of collegial deliberations within patient care encounters.
