N2 - This paper investigates how health professions compete and cooperate inaddressing emerging local work tasks defined in relation to new globalizedhealth challenges, such as type 2 diabetes. It identifies which professionalgroups have claimed responsibility for the tasks and by means of which kindsof interactions and infighting. The materials entail workplace-related artefactsand documents; in-depth interviews and extended conversations with healthprofessionals about goals, dilemmas, and practices linked to prevention oflifestyle-related diseases; and site visits at Danish hospitals. GroundingAbbott’s framework of jurisdictions and his meso-level vocabulary in a situatedaccount of professional boundary work, the analysis follows the ways thatnurses in particular create, and sometimes stabilize or standardize, techniquesfor a disease prevention programme less than a decade old. The paper arguesthat processual theory of boundary work would benefit from grounding in asituated account of forms of professional boundaries within emergingjurisdictional tasks.
