Research
I am interested in a variety of areas within primary healthcare, including rural healthcare, inter-professional work, Communities of Clinical Practice, and in particular communication between health professionals and with patients using Conversation Analysis (a fine-grained method of analysing recorded interactions).
In addition, I have interests in health professional education research, particularly simulation of consultations using our department's SECO (Safe and Effective Clinical Outcomes) format. We currently have a workstream analyzing student reflective essays regarding their SECO experience, their subsequent recall of SECO principles and a survey tool for assessing this. I am also leading a new longitudinal project examining our teachers' and students' response to Covid-19 teaching changes and subsequent larger curriculum changes.
I also have co-led with Dr Shyamala Nad-Raja some case studies in community-based mental health, initially in rural areas, to develop iteratively a model we call COMHEART (community oriented mental health evaluation action research and training).
Additional details
I have wide interests in the humanities (especially music, literature, theatre, film), both in their own right and as they apply to health care.
I am now a proud grandfather.
