In addition to our local CALM group, we have established the Health Interaction Research Network (HIRN).
HIRN: individuals from the University of Southampton (Drs Geraldine Leydon, Katie Ekberg, and Ms Catherine Woods), University College London (Drs Steven Bloch, Fiona Stevenson), Queen Mary (Drs Moira Kelly and Rose McCabe, Ms Laura Thompson), and Bristol University (Drs Becky Barnes and Stuart Ekberg) interested in the study of naturally occuring health care interactions (speech disorders, Parkinsons UK helpline calls, cancer helpline calls, oncology consulations, diabetes consultations, online therapy, face to face CBT sessions, psychiatry consultations and GP consultations).
