International symposium on poetry and medicine to be held at Warwick University on 10 April 2010 (360G-Wellcome-092655_Z_10_Z)
The aim of the symposium is to consider academic approaches to medicine as a historical and current theme in literary poetry, poetry by and for patients and health professionals and in poetry as therapy. Medicine is to be considered in its broadest sense. In particular the Symposium aims to draw together interests in poetry and medicine in the writings of poets, effects of illness on writings of poets, and poetry as therapy for patients and interest as well as a training tool for health professionals. Awards for the new annual International Hippocrates Prize for Poetry and Medicine will be announced during the Symposium. This new Award attracted over 1600 entries from 28 countries from health professionals, patients and members of the public.
