A fact that won&#8217;t escape the notice of those lucky enough to be attending the \u00a0annual conference of the Association of Medical Humanities this July. Given the many attractions of the two sites for the conference- Truro and Penzance- it&#8217;s a wonder that delegates will manage to drag themselves \u00a0from the delights of coastal scenery and local hospitality and into the lecture hall. <!--more-->And yet knowing the team organising this conference and the programme on offer I&#8217;m pretty sure the halls will be full. Given that I&#8217;m running one of the workshops I do of course have an ulterior motive in hoping so.<\/p>\n<p>The subtitle for the conference, &#8216;Conversations between surgery, pathology, the humanities and the arts&#8217;, is, unabashedly clinical in orientation, \u00a0and should I hope help the conference appeal to a wide audience. And for those who prefer their medical humanities conferences to include a lot of art and literature, don&#8217;t let the title fool you. The MH team at Truro have packed the programme with all the arts and humanities goodies you could want. Enough to refresh your batteries, fill you with innovative ideas, and, if you and your patients are lucky, enough to help ensure you wield your scalpel of choice with even more care and consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The closing date for bookings is the 14th June so do hurry if you want to secure one of the few remaining places.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights, in addition to the cornish cream teas planned for day 2, include<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keynotes and Plenaries by<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Francis Wells: <em>The heart of Leonardo da Vinci decoded<\/em><\/p>\n<p>David Cotterrell: <em>Medicine in conflicted landscapes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Allison Crawford (Toronto): <em>The First Cut Is the Deepest: Self, Other, Story and Scalpel<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kevin Patterson (Vancouver):\u00a0<em>A Less Romantic era<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><em>Roger Kneebone (London):\u00a0<em>Simulation \u2013 art <\/em>and\u00a0<em>science?<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><em><em>Must: the Inside Story <\/em>\u2010 Peggy Shaw (New York) with the Clod Ensemble (London)<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshops <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Juliet Percival and John Lee: <em>Drawing on the body for Gunther von Hagens <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mark Kidel: <em>Fine Cut: Alternative narratives in the documentary filming of surgery<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marie\u2010Christine Pouchelle: <em>Robotics for surgeons: magic trick or hidden trap?
