BA, MSc, AMRSPH, AFHEA

DPhil Student

I’m an SPCR funded D.Phil student supervised by Professor Paul Aveyard, Professor Sue Ziebland, Dr Helena Webb and Professor Liz Stokoe.

My D.Phil research focusses on doctor-patient communication in primary care. I am using conversation analysis to explore audio recorded interactions between patients and GPs during the BWeL trial, and link these to patient weight loss outcomes. I also collaborate with colleagues at Memorial University, Canada, on a suite of work focussing on treatment of lower-back pain in primary care.

I am trained in applied conversation analysis and in the Conversation Analytic Role Play Method. I have a background in medical anthropology, and my experience has focused on use of ethnographic and socio-linguistic methodologies to explore patient experiences of health and illness.

Teaching
