“Flourishing in Healthcare” Webinar
The Flourishing Spaces team participated in an online webinar hosted by the RCGP GP Special Interest Group for Creative Health, in partnership with the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH), in December 2024. The webinar explored how creativity can support clinical growth, wellbeing, and connection in healthcare. It reflects on how speaking of flourishing helps to move the wellbeing conversation beyond ideas of resilience and “toughing it out” alone, towards a more interpersonal and ecological understanding of wellbeing.
In the session, we examined flourishing from three different perspectives, highlighting the role of creativity across stages of medical practice:
Flourishing in medical education, presented by Professor Louise Younie
Flourishing and clinician wellbeing, presented by Megan Tjasink
Flourishing from a student perspective, presented by Elle Tallgren
After the presentations and interesting conversation, we opened up the discussion to questions and sharing reflections from other participants as well.
