We are excited to announce that we have published a book of short stories! These come from a creative
writing workshop which used myths, legends, folk and fairy tales to inspire
patients and staff to write about their own experiences within healthcare, and
have been illustrated by a local artist.

In the book you will find tales of queens and wizards, imps and bakers; comedy, fantasy, love, endurance and espionage. There are short stories, poetry and a vignette; all completed as part of a creative writing course aimed at improving wellbeing for patients and staff at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
Engagement in the arts is a great way to relax
and improve your wellbeing. We hope you enjoy reading this book and feel inspired to begin writing
yourself; you will find tips on how to start at the back of the book.

The book, Telling Tales of Wellbeing,
edited by Shirley Moon, was launched at Milton Keynes University Hospital on Monday 12th May outside the
Eaglestone Restaurant. People came along to read some of the stories in the
book and collected a flyer to buy their own copy. On the day we also had a visit from two of our Authors!
