the magic ingredient: a collaboration for the british journal of general practice

narrative therapy approaches center the skills, knowledge and experience of the people we are in conversation with. we are always looking to connect people to their agency and abilities. Ché wrote the poem “15 minutes” to convey some of her historical and changing experiences with healthcare professionals. we had a shared hope that her experience and creativity might help healthcare professionals to remember the power they hold. the article “the magic ingredient” is an example of a young person exercising her agency and finding a way to speak to the healthcare community. i think the publication of Ché’s poem in the BJGP shows they are listening.

thank you to those GPs who have been in touch to share the impact Ché’s poem has had on them.
