The research process was not linear but an on-going process and I often moved back and forth between repeated in-depth interviews and conversations, case studies and fieldwork observations.
Bird is not Jewish, but says that "people will ask me several times in the course of a conversation, in case I've in some way forgotten".
I imagine those who will favour purple in the upcoming elections, the "I'm all right, Jack, pull up the ladder" brigade, are the ones who sit tensely watching their spare chair like a hawks, unable to taste their drink or enjoy their conversation in case someone shuffles up who needs their spare seat.
Though distraught, Rogers seemed grateful for the conversation her case had created.
Without a recording of the conversations, the case hinges on the testimony the jury decides to believe.
Reflective field notes were also written about team meetings, informal discussions and telephone conversations with case managers and primary care team members, visits to general practices and interviews.
During their conversations the case managers often tried to turn negative situations experienced by the participants into more positive situations, whilst trying to motivate the older persons to come up with feasible solutions for their current challenges.
The different methods brought together within the overall framework of the participant observation included observation of and participation in public events and everyday situations, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, fieldwork conversations, and case studies (biographical and event-based).
There are frequent briefings and conversations about cases and if more than one agency has a concern, intervention will follow.
It is much more relevant to have an [informal] case conversation first and then whatever you end up writing in [the EMR] references the conversation, which is obviously much richer.
