IoB Gp x Doing Together 2026
30 – 31 March 2026: Dr Louise Younie and Dr Venetia Allan from the Royal College of GPs Creative Health Special Interest Group attended Doing Together symposium 2026 at Bath Spa University to participate in an annual practice symposium connecting university staff, students and the community through making, collaboration and experimentation.
IOB Gp Introduction
18 July 2025: An IoB event brought together artist-academics and GPs from the National Centre for Creative Health Special Interest Group for Creative Health to explore shared behaviours, pressures, and values across art and general practice.
Rooted in the Inventory of Behaviours (IoB) methodology, the session encouraged open dialogue around creativity, care, vulnerability, and performance. GPs reflected on role play in clinical training, imposter syndrome, and time constraints, while artists shared insights on process, playfulness, and moral imagination. The space was intentionally informal and non-hierarchical, with no pressure to produce, allowing participants to engage freely. Tea, food, and materials supported a welcoming atmosphere. The session revealed deep commonalities; especially in care for others, time-pressured environments, and sustaining curiosity. Live note-taking, drawing, and storytelling helped surface new connections and laid the groundwork for future collaboration in training, wellbeing, and social prescribing. The event affirmed the value of cross-disciplinary dialogue rooted in mutual respect and reflection.
There was an online follow-up meeting where we identified the potential for artists to work with GPs to create a series of artworks that have the potential to support and improve the experience of GPs and trainee GPs in their daily practice. We were introduced to Dr Louise Younie, Royal College of GPs Creative Health Special Interest Group Lead and developed conversations.

A Particular Reality (APR) at Bath Spa University
July 2023: Images and Text from @aparticularreality Instagram. A day with @aparticularreality @bath_bafineart , @bathartdepot and @aparticularreality.
APR members @abhaya_rajani and @sarahhowe.co.uk travelled to Bath to spend the day with incredible Bath Spa members Bhavana Mohan, Jasmin, @kelseycruzmartin , Gina Smith and @natashakiddartist.
Founded in 2018, A Particular Reality is a collective formed by students, alumni and educators from the Fine Art departments at Goldsmiths University of London, Kingston School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University and Middlesex University; with a commitment to building creative learning environments upon the values of equity and care.
A Particular Reality intends to forge connections across creative disciplines amongst students, educators and makers. We intend to elevate individuals who identify with feeling isolated in respect of their cultural identity and lived experience. Students from Goldsmiths and Kingston expressed a desire to be proactive in helping to address this feeling, not only for themselves but for the benefit of future students. We are a space for sharing rather than telling. We are committed to providing a non-hierarchical space to support marginalised students and staff and cultivate creative expression.
We call for institutions to serve people’s differences better. We strive for those who make up the institution to feel more connected to a network of practitioners, creatives and collaborators.

Inventory of Behaviours
June 2023: Hosted by @magnusquaife at UniArts Helsinki supported by the Kuno network
#inventoryofbehaviours Natasha Kidd with @kelly_at_large in collaboration with @joaddisonartist @nwtinstruct @jendunseath worked with students from Finland, Norway and Denmark to scrutinise the behaviours of artists and ask what can we learn from the way they ‘work’ with a focus on productivity, space, the body and wellbeing.
Inventory of Behaviours is a research project that investigates what the ordinary behaviours of artists can tell us about creativity. It is developed by artists/senior lecturers Jo Addison (Kingston University) and Natasha Kidd (Bath Spa University) in collaboration with Freelands Foundation.
Jo Addison & Natasha Kidd work collaboratively as No Working Title. The events they curate explore the dialogic relationships between making and learning; they expose learning as form.
