Filming interviews between service users and professionals: advice sought

[Jill Anderson]

Colin Gell recently got in touch with a query re this, and is happy for it to be circulated. See below for Colin's request and my initial response.  Any further thoughts/responses would be very welcome.

 

Hi Jill 

Hope things are good with you. I am doing some work with Jim Dooher and the Patients Advisors at DMU. We are helping to produce the user/carer module for year three of the new nursing course. One of the things we want to do is produce some filmed fictitous interviews  between users and nurses, We are looking for some guidance on this from other people who may have done something similar. I thought that in your work you may have come across places that could offer us help. Jim will also probably write to you but I just wanted to say hello and offer best wishes/Cheers.Colin   

 

Hi Colin

Good to hear from you. The person who sprang to mind was Tarsem Singh-Cooner at CEIMH in Birmingham, whom I'm sure you are already in touch with. Their videos are very widely used and seem closest to what you are thinking of: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/social-policy/ceimh/f...

But are you thinking that it would be service users themselves, rather than people acting in that role, who would play the part of service users?  It might be worth talking to Jools Symons in Leeds.  They have been training service users to act as simulated patients (though am not sure if they have been filming them). http://www.leeds.ac.uk/medicine/contacts/profiles/j_symons.html

After sending this, I remembered the Bradton project and sent the link to Colin: http://bradton.pbworks.com/w/page/13574418/FrontPage

Bradton was very ethically conceived and executed - a great example of collaboration
