@AlburyCharlotte

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, including  Spirit healing and body modification. I am trained in applied conversation analysis and in the Conversation Analytic Role Play Method. 

I joined the dept in 2015 to start an SPCR funded D.Phil studentship supervised by Professor Paul Aveyard, Professor Sue Ziebland, Dr Helena Webb, and Professor Liz Stokoe. My D.Phil research focussed on doctor-patient communication in primary care. I used conversation analysis  to explore audio recorded interactions between patients and GPs during the BWeL trial, and link these to patient weight loss outcomes. 

I regularly collaborate with colleagues at  Memorial University, Canada, on a suite of work focussing on treatment of lower-back pain in primary care.
