Having done much clinical research, much of which will continue, presently I am focussing on the use of Conversation Analysis to study interaction, both words and gestures, in healthcare settings, particularly in ophthalmology or optometry settings. Outcomes include those of purely linguistic relevance, as well as clinical outcomes. How do specific features of interaction affect clinical outcomes, including treatment effectiveness, and patients' adherence, understanding and wellbeing?
