Multimodal Approaches to Healthcare Communication Research

Keiko Tsuchiya is Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Urban Social and Cultural Studies, Yokohama City University, Japan.Frank Coffey is Honorary Professor at Nottingham Trent University and Director of DREEAM (Department of Research and Education in Emergency Medicine Acute Medicine and Major Trauma) at Nottingham University Hospitals’ NHS Trust, UK.Kyota Nakamura is Professor at the Department of Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Yokohama City University Medical Centre, and at the Department of Clinical Quality Management, Osaka University Hospital, Japan.

In this carefully crafted volume, the editors bring together contributions from several disciplines that converge on the study of interactions between healthcare professionals in emergency and critical care contexts. The emphasis on the visualization of these interactive practices is a significant achievement of the work as is the inclusion of studies in Japan and the UK. This is essential reading for clinicians and health communication scholars globally.
