Changing practice through the art of palliative care - An infographic guide
1St Columba's Hospice, 15 Boswall Drive, Edinburgh EH5 3RW, UK.
Abstract:
Despite decades of clinical practice, education and integration with other healthcare teams, palliative care remains enshrouded by myth and misconception. Through the powerful medium of comics, this article presents ten of the most misunderstood areas in palliative care. The topics explored were produced in conjunction with practising UK palliative care trainee doctors and realised to artistic form by a physician expert in graphic medicine. A novel infographic approach was carefully developed to be approachable yet thought-provoking. Each infographic is paired with content created to encourage reflection and provide applicable, real-world palliative care advice for all healthcare professionals. The historical connection between art and medicine is utilised in this modern article with the goal of improving patient care.
