The ACT model for culturally competent research
Cultural competence is increasingly recognised as a methodological imperative in research involving diverse populations, and yet it remains inconsistently theorised and weakly embedded within methodological discourse. Existing frameworks often lack practical traction, leaving researchers without clear strategies for integrating cultural considerations systematically. This paper addresses this gap by reimagining the ACT model (Activate Consciousne…
Perceptions of inclusive learning in academic and clinical environments
Differential attainment among undergraduate/pre-registration healthcare students from diverse sociocultural backgrounds is evident. This research aims to explore healthcare students' feelings of inclusivity and sense of belonging from various demographic groups in order to explore aspects of the student experience that may help make sense of the differential attainment. A self-completed online survey was designed and distributed in seven health p…
The invisible conspicuous outsiders
This study investigates how Black students experience and respond to both invisibility and hypervisibility within UK healthcare education. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of habitus and critical race theory, it addresses a key gap in existing literature, which often homogenises the experiences of ethnic minority students and overlooks the specific impact of anti-Black racism. Based on qualitative data from 21 students across seven healthcare program…
A critical review of cultural competence frameworks and models in medical and health professional education
BACKGROUND: Cultural competence resides at the core of undergraduate and postgraduate medical and health professional education. The evolution of studies on cultural competence has resulted in the existence of multiple theoretical frameworks and models, each emphasising certain elements of culturally appropriate care, but generally lacking in providing a coherent and systematic approach to teaching this subject. METHODS: Following a meta-ethnogra…
Cultural competence education for undergraduate medical students
The COVID-19 pandemic and the escalation of the Black Lives Matter Movement worldwide have foregrounded the long-standing inequality in society and healthcare. The provision of culturally competent care has become more necessary than at any other time. However, cultural competence (CC) education remains inconsistent across medical schools, and little is known about how students develop their CC through campus-based classroom teaching. We took an …
Towards a collaborative structure of interpreter-mediated medical consultations
Body-oriented gestures as a practitioner's window into interpreted communication
With increasing global migration, health care providers and patients may lack a shared language. Interpreters help to secure understanding. Doctors and patients cannot evaluate how the interpreter translates their utterances; however, they can see hand movements, which can provide a window into the interpretation process. While research on natural language use has acknowledged the semiotic contribution of co-speech gestures (i.e., spontaneous han…
Nine Types of Turn-taking in Interpreter-mediated GP Consultations
This research investigated the systematicity of turn-taking organisation in naturally occurring GP consultations where either a professional or an ad hoc interpreter was involved to mediate language discordant doctor-patient talk-in-interaction. I found that participants systematically organise their turns to speak, following one of the nine types of turn-taking organisation identified in this study disregarding the patient’s native language and …
Co-construction of interpreted conversation in medical consultations
It has been largely accepted that face-to-face consecutive interpreting should be studied as a communicative event and an interactive process. Linguistic methods, including conversation analysis, have been used to investigate interactive elements in the discourse, such as turn-taking, adjacency pair, overlapping speech, repair, etc. Researchers acknowledge that participants' verbal behaviours in the turn-by-turn interactions are co-constructed by…
