In episode 1 of our latest podcast, we delve into the fascinating world of conversation analysis. Our host Dr Penelope Elix speaks with Dr Sarah J White, a leading conversation analyst, and Professor John Cartmill, an experienced surgeon.

They explore conversation, how we communicate, why we might not get the response we’re expecting and how medical professionals can use communication to improve their interactions with patients.
