Video of the engaging Q&A at Cambridge University

by

PROMISE (PROactive Management of Integrated Services & Environments) made a short-video of the very engaging and thought-proviking discussion following the screening of Breaking the Chains at Cambridge University. The audience brought up issues about low-resources, stigma and abuses but also the value of ‘touch’ (and the impact of its absence) in mental health care. You can watch the video made by PROMISE, with thanks to Dr. Manaan Kar Ray.

Medfest is a medically themed film festival run by UK psychiatry trainees.

Every Spring, medical schools around the UK and Ireland hold evening events. A selection of short films, clips and animations are shown and discussed by a panel of distinguished or famous faces before the floor is opened for audience comments.

The dual aims of MedFest are to increase interest in psychiatry and to inspire people through film.

Breaking the chains was invited as one of the 10 clips to be screened in over 40 locations in Uk and internationally.

Tonight (19th March 2015) Medfest will take place at Kings College, London- 5.30 pm Lecture Theatre 1, New Hunts House, Guy’s Campus, LONDON. Free entry, all welcome!
