APPs for doctors, patients and anatomy students

NHS Choices - Health apps for patients

Graphic Medicine

Graphic Medicine Manifesto

This inaugural volume in the Graphic Medicine series establishes the principles of graphic medicine and begins to map the field.

The Bad Doctor

Cartoonist and doctor Ian Williams takes his stethoscope to Dr Iwan James, a rural GP in need of more than a little care himself.

The Walking Med

The Walking Med brings together scholars from across the disciplines to explore what new meanings the zombie might convey in this context. These scholars consider a range of forms to show how interrogations of the zombie metaphor can reveal new perspectives within the medical humanities.

Facts of Life

The Facts of Life is a funny, sometimes painful graphic memoir that explores what it takes to be a woman, a partner, and a mother . . . or not.

Psychiatric Tales

Psychiatric Tales draws on Darryl Cunningham's time working in a psychiatric ward to give a reasoned and sympathetic look into the world of mental illness. In each chapter, Cunningham explores a different mental health problem, using evocative imagery to describe the experience of mental illness, both from the point of view of those beset by illness and their friends and relatives.
