Would you like to be one of the 30 people at the gathering?
Are you a clinician who has changed their practice as a result of a digital story, a patient who has told a story, a digital storyteller working in health, someone who commissions digital storytelling in the health service or a thinker who has ideas and insights to share?
 
Do you have something to say about ethics, narrative form, aesthetics, how stories have led to quality improvements, what the emotional impact on the teller was, what the pitfalls were or are you developing or evaluating the practice in new ways?
 
We are interested in facilitating conversations about every aspect of the digital storytelling practice that is developing across the NHS in the UK. What works and what doesn’t work….
 
If you have a topic related to digital storytelling in health that you would like to present either as a standalone provocation, a performance or as an on stage conversation with someone else then please download and complete the submission form HERE
Closing date February 22nd 2021
 
We are looking forward to hearing from you
