In the following extract from one of these conversations, Helen Spandler (HS) talks to Meg-John Barker (MJB) about how the comic graphics in their zines ‘craft contention’ about mental health.    HS: Can you remember how… Read More

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. This year they had moved the event from Dublin to Galway – on the west coast of Ireland – expanded the capacity from just over 100 to 500 delegates and the programme from one to two days. 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

People with ‘invisible’ diseases (e.g., infertility, endometriosis, Cystic Fibrosis, ME, depression) may find it especially difficult to explain their experiences to others. A new website, www.drawingout.org, uses simple metaphor-based drawing exercises to help people express and share their thoughts and feelings about their condition. The online galleries showcase the artwork produced by patients, as well as providing links to information and support through their partner charities. The website is the result of collaboration between two academics at Cardiff University: Dr Sofia Gameiro is a psychologist who focuses on understanding and improving the healthcare experiences of infertile patients.
