Data collection arrangements
The data are 261 video recordings of consultations between general practitioners (GPs) and patients for a range of different problems. There are also interviews with nine of the GPs who took part and 28 of the patients. All the patients whose consultations were recorded also completed a brief questionnaire before seeing their doctor to say what information sources they had looked at before coming to see the doctor. Data were collected in 2017 and 2018. There are video recordings of consultations, with some only audio recordings and audio recordings of interviews. The data are transcribed verbatim.
Research programme
The database will be useful for all levels of research from research student projects to large collaborative, multi-centre projects. They will be of interest to researchers interested in health. As we have video recordings of consultations and audio recordings of interviews the data are suitable for micro analysis (such as conversation analysis) as well as more standard thematic approaches.
