In this ‘in conversation with,’ I talk to Jess Foulkes, Dr Suzanne Beeke and Dr Anna Volkmer about their paper in the International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, Using Conversation Analysis to explore assessments of decision-making capacity in a hospital setting. We explore what ‘conversation analysis,’ means, and how it helps shed light on the process of capacity assessment. We also think about the implications for training and further research. (Note, there is a good cat intervention – hurrah – and an annoying ring tone – sorry – in this episode).
This is really interesting. Thank-you.
It would be helpful to broaden the analysis into non-clinical settings especially perhaps for hospital discharge which is likely to have a clear social care element.
