This paper considers the ethical dimensions of interprofessional research relationships in applied linguistics, an area that has perhaps received less attention than other types engaged field. As a discipline, linguistics considered how can be conducted ethically with participants, mindful benefiting those who are subjects research. However, professional and institutional contexts involves complex multiple parties, where ‘with’ different participants groups raises considerations about...
Manikins and simulated patients (SPs) are commonly used in health care education assessment. SPs appear to offer a more realistic experience for learners than 'plastic' manikins, might be expected engender interactions that approximate real clinical practice closely. The analyses of linguistic patterns touch methodologies could explore this hypothesis. Our research aims were: (1) compare verbal the use procedural by workers (HCWs) scenarios with manikins; (2) evaluate inform large-scale...
Simulations, in which healthcare professionals are observed dialogue with role-played patients, widely used for assessing professional skills. Medical education research suggests simulations should be as authentic possible, but there remains a lack of linguistic into how far such settings authentically reproduce talk. This article presents an analysis corpus general practice the United Kingdom, comparing this to dataset real-life practitioner (GP) consultations. Combining and conversation...
This article reports a study of simulated interactions between emergency medical teams, as they are used in education for specialist trainee doctors. We focus on key area communicative competence that trainees assessed on: the performance leadership skills. Using videos trauma cases recorded within training department large teaching hospital UK, we analyse how doctors delegate tasks to their matching up linguistic performance, particular use requests, simulation overall. allows us establish...
This study of police emergency calls in the UK addresses interactional work conducted when dealing with reports kidnap. In UK, kidnap is classed as a type 'crime-in-action', known to be complex categorise and code for appropriate response. Using qualitative method 'conversation analysis', we address this complexity through analysing dataset anonymised which are, at some point during call or subsequent investigation, categorised 'kidnap'. Analysing calls, their categorisations accompanying...
The use of role-play in standardised medical assessments raises many problems, particularly around the measurement interpersonal skills such as 'empathy'. Research on simulations has tended to focus quantified, psychometric their reliability and validity. However, communication, which often forms a central part assessment simulations, is difficult matter address through this post hoc analytic method. A sociolinguistic approach analysing real recordings simulated allows greater insight into...
The paper presents a two-part forensic linguistic analysis of an historic collection abuse letters, sent to individuals in the public eye and individuals’ private homes between 2007 2009. We employ technique structural topic modelling (stm) identify distinctions core topics gauging value this relatively under-used methodology linguistics. Four key were identified ‘Politics A’ ‘B’, ‘Healthcare’ ‘Immigration’, their coherence, correlation shifts evaluated. Following stm, qualitative corpus was...
It is well known that the demands of working in healthcare can take a psychological toll on staff. Schwartz Centre Rounds are an intervention aimed at supporting staff wellbeing through providing forum to talk about emotional, social and ethical complexities such work, employing facilitated storytelling group discussion try achieve this. However, while prior research, extensive interviews surveys, has found be effective fostering compassion amongst participants, occurs within themselves not...
Differential performance in clinical skills assessments is a widespread phenomenon, for which there remain few explanations.To better understand the conversational contexts of simulated consultations and how candidates actually behave these to determine sociolinguistic factors high- low-performing candidates.Taking Membership Royal College General Practitioners' (MRCGP) assessment (CSA) examination as model, this research applied analyses case videos 198 consecutive presenting CSA...
In emergency care, healthcare professionals (HCPs) interact with both a patient and their colleagues at the same time. How HCPs regulate two distinct interactions is our central interest. Focusing on HCPs' use of voice quality pitch, multimodal analysis interaction in simulation training session was conducted. Our aims are (1) to compare pitch HCP-patient HCP-HCP interactions, (2) examine how different function interaction, (3) develop research methodology so as integrate features care for...
