Danielle is a medical sociologist with expertise in Conversation Analysis at University of Bradford. She has applied the method to medical communication to investigate how dementia is assessed within memory clinicis in the UK. Her current project explores how dementia risk is communicated in medical interaction within both primary care (by general practitioners) and secondary care memory assessment services (by psychiatrists). In the project Danielle sought to identify if, when and how dementia risk is communicated to patients. In the latter part of the project she used conversation analysis to explore dementia risk communication during diagnostic feedback meetings where patients were receiving a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment, seeking to understand the interactional mechanisms of secondary dementia risk reduction in clinical practice.
