Poetry of Medicine in Wrexham
1 February 2018
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to visit Wrexham in North Wales, at the Invitation of the Wales Deanery. We ran a workshop about poetry and medicine, with a special emphasis on the idea of 'gratitude'.
Some of the feedback is below
Really enjoyable session. A good reminder of the importance of art in medicine
Brilliant day! All worked very well, especially group discussion, writing stories, thinking differently and creatively
Amazing atmosphere. Very relaxed and informal, refreshing and positive session
Nice opportunity to be creative. Lovely day and very important to think about issues like those we have discussed today
Brilliant day! Loved being creative but also really appreciated being reminded of the wonder and joy of our job
Amazing! All of it.
Helped me to understand how to continue to incorporate art in medicine and ensure personality is left there
Fantastic experience, which helped to understand relationship between literature and medicine
I am inspired to read and write more and to spend more time on creative pursuits - I miss doing so and didn't realise how much! Thank you!
I feel as if I had been holding my breath and have begun breathing deeply.
