Creative enquiry is the exploration of lived experience through the arts. It extends ways of knowing in healthcare, to invite new perspectives and enhance understanding of self and other. This has the potential firstly to develop us as practitioners engaging in complex and intersubjective encounters with our patients. Secondly, through sharing the ‘what is’ of our lived experience with fellow healthcare professionals, we build solidarity and community, which may lead to flourishing.

LOUISE YOUNIE (MBChB, MRCGP (dist), MSc (dist), EdD, SFHEA) is a GP and Clinical Reader in Medical Education at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) where she leads on faculty development and innovation. She has extensive experience with creative enquiry methodologies in medical education for humanising medicine, professional identity formation and human flourishing. She is a Flourishing Fellow working across the whole of QMUL to explore co-creatively with students and staff, what it means to flourish.
