Learning Objectives:

This workshop aims to meet the needs of healthcare practitioners seeking to explore creative and reflective writing, as well as those looking to inform their professional practice with narrative approaches to health and medicine.

The workshop will begin by introducing the elements of writing practice and the essentials of close reading, to be applied with greater focus and depth as the workshop goes on. We will read published works relating to health and the body and discuss what they offer to us as models. We will discuss theoretical/practical/creative perspectives on additional genres, such as poetry and non-fiction.
