Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the patients I have encountered over the years as a GP who have taught me more about being a doctor and a human being than I could ever hope or imagine.  Also the many students who have engaged in creative enquiry spaces and opportunities to produce moving and thought provoking work whether it be around their own lived experience or their experiences and encounters with patients.  I would also like to thank the arts therapists, arts for health consultants, academics and health professionals who I have had the privilege to connect with in the creative enquiry context.  My hope is that we may continue to bring our different voices and experiences together in creative exploration, learning and transformation.
