About Us


We were officially established as a non-profit organisation on the 24th of May 2021 in Spain.

Jonathan McFarland, who is the President of The Doctor as a Humanist, has provided a short welcome video message.

Our ethos is to promote networking, collaboration, knowledge exchange and research in medical humanities and on the topic of re-humanising healthcare.

We offer conferences and an annual online course.

Our membership is open to all qualified professionals and students from any sector and discipline. Please get in touch, if you are interested in getting involved with The Doctor as a Humanist.

We embrace and support inclusivity and collegiality.
