Researcher Revealed Episode 6
Professor Alison Pilnick, from the Manchester Metropolitan University, joined me to discuss her award-winning book, “Reconsidering Patient Centred Care: Between Autonomy and abandonment.” She also shares her journey into research and gives a Masterclass on Conversation Analysis.
Top 3 Takeaways
1) Opportunity: Be open to the journey that research might take you on.
2) Consider what is the actual evidence base, do a deep dive into the robustness of the evidence guiding policy and pathways in healthcare services.
3) Complex methods are like riding a bike, hard to explain but easier once you get stuck in. Access resources to support your learning around a given research method.
