Research
My background is in applied linguistics and I apply skills in interactional linguistics and conversation analysis, as well as generic qualitative research skills, to a range of projects, mainly focusing on communication in health contexts.
I am a member of the ARCH (Applied Research on Communication in Health) Group which studies all aspects of communication in health care, with a focus on analysing how health professionals and patients interact with a view to improving communication and ultimately health outcomes.
