In medical emergencies, phoning the ambulance service constitutes a high-stakes interaction. Call-takers rely on callers to provide information about the patient so they can promptly recognise the medical problem and take swift action to remedy it. When a language barrier exists between the call-taker and caller, this can add a further challenge, given that third-party interpreters are rarely engaged, especially for time-critical conditions such as cardiac arrest.

Background: The incorporation of Question Prompt Lists (QPLs) into pharmacy interactions has been tested as an innovative strategy aimed at enhancing patient engagement and addressing personal information needs. However, there is a gap in understanding regarding how QPLs induce or reduce patient activation and contribute to improved medical treatment. The specific aim of the study was therefore to qualitatively describe how pharmacy encounters in which QPL are introduced unfold, in order to identify and discuss relevant interactional mechanisms that induce or reduce patient activation.

European pharmaceutical companies have a professional and legal obligation to provide objective, factual and non-promotional medicine-related information to both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients on request and have established Medical Information services to fulfil this need. Also, medicines are supplied with a package leaflet for patients and/or users-this usually includes the contact details for the company's Medical Information service. There is a large scale of patient enquiry interactions across the European region.

Lay perspectives are important in the recovery of patients with nonspecific pain as they influence levels of pain and patients' pain experiences. Although previous interactional research has focused on patients' unsolicited attempts to share their perspectives, health professions also employ specific techniques to solicit them. Physiotherapists are recommended to assess lay perspectives and include them in treatment.

Background: Providing feedback to healthcare professionals and organisations on performance or patient outcomes may improve care quality and professional development, particularly in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) where professionals make autonomous, complex decisions and current feedback provision is limited. This study aimed to determine the content and outcomes of feedback in EMS by measuring feedback prevalence, identifying predictors of receiving feedback, categorising feedback outcomes and determining predictors of feedback efficacy.
Methods: An observational mixed-methods study was used.
