Description: Medicine requires technically skilled interventions in patients’ bodies and minds. But it demands much more – engagement with complex humanity, with vistas of uncertainty, with moral conflict and with values as often as facts. As such, medicine is arguably as rooted in the arts as science.
Medicine Unboxed is a programme of conferences which aspires to explore this view of medicine with front-line NHS staff. It is entirely an NHS initiative through Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Contributors, past and expected, include Jo Shapcott, Gabriel Weston, Raymond Tallis, Allan Kellehear, Richard Smith, Dannie Abse, John Bell, Susan Willis, Richard MacCormac, Patrick Leman, Deborah Kirklin, Susan Francis, Raanan Gillon, Jane Willis, Gwynneth Lewis, Salley Vickers, Guy Deutscher, Amateur Transplants and Performing Medicine.
