Medicine Unboxed explores a view of medicine that exceeds the technical: one elaborated by the arts, philosophy and the imagination as much as science, and one that insists on care and human understanding as much as treatment. Contributors include writers, clergy, artists, poets, philosophers, lawyers, linguists, musicians, dramatists, patients and doctors. Open to the public, healthcare staff and policy-makers, the results are resonant, provocative, sometimes funny and often moving. Come and join the debate - be inspired.
