My talk is titled: 

‘“The hospital requires treatment in order to treat” (Jean Oury): healing the hospital with contemporary French philosophy, literature and film’ 🏥

Thanks so much to wonderful colleagues at QUB for having me!

This workshop invited visitors to use speculative design and design fiction methodologies to imagine clinical spaces and architectures that are more inclusive to everyone.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by!

This will take place in Lancaster Central Library on 4th November between 9:30-11:30.

Come to our drop-in, take part in the simulation of a future hospital waiting room, and use speculative design methods to design your own hospital waiting room of the future in response!

This talk explored representations of hospitals in contemporary documentary, asking how film might provide both a critical and creative space for rethinking clinical design.

It also draws on themes of neuroplastic narrativity in the work of Catherine Marabou which I develop in my forthcoming book (which I promise I'll stop talking about at some point!)

This was all about the role that storytelling plays in the patient experience of neurological care and surgery, and involved Tinder, a homophobe, the Lion King, and an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy.
