Freshen your perspective on familiar healthcare words and phrases in this creative, thought-provoking workshop led by artist Sue Mayo in collaboration with the KHP Centre for Translational Medicine.

In this workshop you’ll explore the language of healthcare through interactive poetry exercises, reflecting on experiences as patients, carers, or advocates. Together, you will uncover forgotten words, reimagine familiar ones and invent new language that captures hopes, challenges and contributions. No previous writing experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to play with words.
