Sex and the Clinic: Taking about sex during oncology consultations
Abstract
There are several cancers that can substantially impact a person’s sex life and their sexual relationships. This means that the sexual impact of these cancers is an important topic to discuss during clinical consultations. As part of a broader project proposal, this seminar will offer an overview of the current research landscape into talking about sex in clinical settings, it will identify the problems and questions to be addressed and offer an example of some conversation analytical research that examines how the sexual impact of localised prostate cancer is communicated to couples across four clinical sites in the UK.
