Funded Activity Summary

Enhancing the management of people living with chronic conditions: understanding the social space, that is, 'the consultation'. Promotion and maintenance of good health for people with chronic conditions assumes an effective consultation at a clinical meeting between health consumer and health professional. Whilst many health initiatives focus on length, format and content of the consultation, little is understood about the nature of the consultation itself, as a constructed and negotiated social space. This study aims to explore and understand the social space that is "the consultation" between people living with chronic conditions and health professionals. It has potential to not only challenge assumptions about what the consultation is, or can be, but also to meet significant challenges posed by the management of chronic conditions.
