Infos

This book presents an international snapshot of communication in
healthcare settings and examines how policies, procedures and
technological developments influence day to day practice.

* Brings together a series of papers describing features of
healthcare interaction in settings in Australasia, the U.S.A,
continental Europe and the UK

* Contains original research data from previously under-studied
settings including professions allied to medicine,
telephone-mediated interactions and secondary care

* Contributors draw on the established conversation analytic
literature on healthcare interaction and broaden its scope by
applying it to professionals other than doctors in primary
care

are negotiated and managed throughout daily healthcare
practice

Rezensionen

"In their introductory chapter, the editors provide an overview of
CA research in the medical field so far and explicate how they
think such research should be develnot oped further, as noted
above . . . I do hope, and expect, that the collection can function
as a stimulus to indeed extend the focus of 'medical' studies
using CA and ethnomethodology in the ways demonstrated here."
(Discourse Studies, 2011)

"In this sense this book offers a great deal of inspiration to
those interested in health communication from both methodological
and practice perspectives." (Sociology of Health & Illness,
2011)
