Great to present @MTWnhs and to meet @PatientAsPaper and learn about her wonderful work on patient and health worker experience. Superimpositions reflecting on perceptions of the patient as bed number or barcode very powerful. Much looking forward to Emma’s new project.
I really enjoyed @MZimmLitSciMed presentation @MTWnhs on ‘Agency, Identity and Personhood of the Individual with Dementia in Literature’ and then had the pleasure of meeting her @LizBaz @HumanitiesinHPE #MedHums #Dementia
