Graphic Medicine at DotMD Festival of Medical Curiosity
The marvellous organisation that is DotMD were kind enough to sponsor our Brighton conference this year. Each year they run a fascinating ‘Festival of Medical Curiosity’ that always sells out well in advance of the date.

Their changes paid off. The conference was a huge success, tackling the big questions in healthcare and life and introducing the delegates – comprising mostly of doctors or… Read More

Graphic Medicine 2019 Poster Specifications
I thought I would post the poster specifications for the conference here. Posters should be formatted as below (or approximate these measurements if printers do not hold A1 paper stock) A1 841 x 594 mm 33.1 x 23.4in Portrait orientation Posters will be displayed on vertical boards, secured with thumb tacks or with adhesive putty, so you can bring them to the conference rolled in a tube. Most people create the posters digitally and have them printed, but, in keeping with the Graphic Medicine ethos, handmade/drawn/painted is OK, too.
