Concordance in Medical Consultations (eBook, ePUB)

A Critical Review

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The capacity of professional medicine to resist change - and also concordance - is impressive, but perplexing. It is one of the issues that the author seeksto address. He suggests that a preoccupation with trying to change the relationship between the professional-patient dyad has deflected attention from the extent to which such relations are embedded in, and constrained by, wider administrative and organisational structures, especially as these relate to the operation of professional hierarchies and interprofessional deference and allegiances.

She studied social anthropology at the Universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge and has carried out qualitative research in a range of health service settings. She has a particular interest in lay and professional constructions of illness and health, the social and personal significance of medicines, 'knowledge' as a resource in coping with illness and professional-patient interaction in medical consultations. Her interest in concordance developed during the course of a five-year Concordance Research Fellowship, funded by the Department of Health, which she held jointly with Janet Grime at the Department of Medicines Management at Keele University.
