About

Overview

Rose is a psychologist specialising in professional-patient communication in mental health care. She records professional-patient encounters and micro-analyses verbal and nonverbal communication. She also works on translating these findings into novel interventions to improve communication and patient outcomes in mental healthcare. She joined City University in 2018 and leads the Centre for Mental Health Research. She previously worked in the College of Medicine and Health at the University of Exeter and was Deputy Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Mental Health Services Development at Queen Mary University of London.

Her research investigates how communication may be affected by mental health problems and improving communication to improve patient centred care, patient experience and benefit from treatment. This work applies innovative methods to analyse communication in real clinical consultations, including conversation analysis, 3D motion capture and natural language processing.

Current work focuses on: nonverbal interpersonal coordination using 3D motion capture technology; involving patients and carers in decision making about treatment; how General Practitioners communicate with patients with common mental health problems; how professionals ask people about suicidal thoughts and plans; communication of a diagnosis of dementia; communication skills training to improve communication about psychosis; and a brief psychological intervention in Emergency Departments to improve outcomes for people who present with self-harm.
