An Introduction to Graphic Medicine

Join Ian Williams (The Bad Doctor, Guardian cartoonist, co-editor of The Graphic Medicine Manifesto), MK Czerwiec (AKA Comic Nurse, co-editor of The Graphic Medicine Manifesto), Rachael Ball (The Inflatable Woman), Nicola Streeten (Billy, You & Me), Henny Beaumont (Hole in the Heart), and Nye Wright (Things to Do in A Retirement Home Trailer Park), for an introduction to Graphic Medicine, short presentations on individual work, and a panel discussion.

Our display of graphic novels that deal with 'Mind, Body and Spirit' sits alongside the many other genres explored in The Great British Graphic Novel. These works are of interest artistically and also as part of a growing movement that considers graphic fiction to be a useful resource for healthcare professionals, patients and carers. Graphic Medicine aims to explore this interface between the medium of comics and the discipline of medicine.
