Dr

Ian Williams is a physician, comic artist and writer
and on completion of his medical training went on to do further
studies in Fine Art and Medical Humanities. He is a co-founder of
GraphicMedicine.org which explores all that is artistic in in
medicine and is also the author of the recent graphic novel 'Bad
Doctor'. He is also the co-author of the 'Graphic Medicine
Manifesto' which has been nominated for an Isner
award. 

In addition to his work as an

artist, Ian shines a light on mental health in physicians and
indeed his own struggles with OCD during the early part of his
training. This was a thoroughly enjoyable conversation on such a
broad range of topics from the humanities to mountain rescue in
Wales.
