|Announcement Type=Training
|Full title=Online course: Analysing conversation
|Short title=Online CA Course
|Short summary=Starting 13 Oct: an online, asynchronous 10-week course for learning how to do conversation analysis.
|Announcement text=Australian-based company, Bedside Manners Pty Ltd, is running an online, asynchronous course for learning how to do conversation analysis. This 10-week course will take you from what is CA through aspects of planning, collecting and transcribing data, analysis, and writing up. It is available worldwide.

Course inclusions
The course includes access to a new topic each week to complete at any time during that week, with a recorded lecture, some reading, and a practical activity for help you develop your skills in doing CA. You will be able to directly ask questions and you'll receive feedback on work you complete, typically within a week.
Time commitment
The weekly time commitment is typically around three hours, however you may wish to take longer on completing tasks or pursuing further reading. The course is equivalent to a four-day full-time intensive, but with the flexibility for you to complete the work at any time and to explore some topics with more depth than others, as you may need.

Cost
The course costs $2100 for the 10-week course. The course is currently only available as a full course, though particular topics may become available as standalone modules in the future. We can offer discounts for those in lower-middle income countries (as defined by the World Bank). Please get in touch to discuss: sarahjwhite@bedsidemanners.com.au

Technical requirements
There are no specific software programs when it comes to conversation analysis, however having word processing, spreadsheet, and video editing software is essential. There are free, low cost, and higher cost software available and these will be referenced within the course.

Enrolment
The course start date is 13 October 2025. You can enrol and commence after this date, however feedback on activities may be provided after the usual one week turnaround, particularly during the holiday period. Enrolments will be closed on 1 November 2025 and will re-open in early 2026. Enrol here: https://bedsidemanners.thinkific.com/products/courses/conversation-analysis

|Abstract=Background: Small talk and social talk are often recommended to doctors as rapport building strategies for consultations. These types of talk occur across different activities in clinical consultations. Aim: To explore how small talk and social talk are used in surgical consultations. Methods: Using conversation analysis, we examined the sequential positioning and action ascription of small talk and social talk in a sample of video-recorded surgeon-patient consultations from New Zealand and Australia. Results: Small talk and social talk sequences almost always do more than build rapport in surgical interactions. Rather, they contribute in complex ways to all three institutional agendas of a consultation – clinical, interactional, and relational. Discussion: This study broadens previous topic-based analyses and binary or linear conceptualisations. We show that small talk and social talk provide a rich resource for enabling different actions within consultations as well as managing relationships (e.g. managing transitions between activities, facilitating sensitive discussions or examinations, and supporting treatment planning). Conclusion: This study has provided a basis for further research to more fully understand the complexities of small talk and social talk in clinical consultations, as well as considerations of how such evidence might best be applied within training and assessment for clinicians.

|Abstract=Simulation training is a widely used educational modality for both technical and non-technical skills and provides a safe environment for trainees to practise these skills. However, research into simulation training for communication in other institutional settings has found that simulations are not reflective of actual interactional or communicative practices. Clinical simulation research has also found that issues of authenticity impact on performance in simulations. Using conversation analysis, we compare what norms participants orient to in simulated versus actual surgeon–patient interactions. By doing so, we have identified differences between these interactions. In this article we focus on the ways actors present their problems differently to patients, how they manage the transition to history taking, and how they account for their visit to the doctor.

|Abstract=Communication skills are considered a central part of medical and health professional curricula. The focus for both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in these curricula is often, necessarily, on that which is directly relevant to consultations and other clinical activities. Prior to engaging in this more specific and often experiential learning, it is arguable that the inclusion of foundational learning around how interaction works to adequately scaffold more specific, clinically-contextualised learning, building through the zone of proximal development. In this paper, I describe a conversation analysis-informed curriculum for communication skills in an undergraduate pre-clinical science degree which is designed to enhance the ability to critically and constructively reflect on their own communication.
