Submissions are invited but not limited to the conference themes. These themes are:
- how the humanities can contribute to the treatment of individuals whose health is compromised and/or sustain well-being, including for practitioners as patients.
- how the written word can help patients, practitioners, families and the general public understand states of health, experiences of acute/chronic disease, disability and ageing.
- how a study of historical events can inform our understanding of present health issues and guide us about future clinical practice and policy.
- how can the humanities assist practitioners in becoming more culturally sensitive particularly to displaced individuals, and in considering the impact on patients and clinicians of migrating into a different cultural environment .
