Abstract

This article, the first in a series, introduces narrative inquiry as a medium for evidence-based, professional practice. It explores narrative and narrative typologies, alongside the historical context of narrative inquiry and its value for health and social care practice. Throughout the series, reflections are presented from nursing students who have engaged with personal stories of health and illness. As patient narratives often evoke a powerful emotional response, they can help students to understand how such narratives can enhance their professional practice and promote person-centred care.
