Video - Who Cares for the CarerWinner of Silver Award, BMA Film CompetitionIn partnership with the local health authority we organised a conference for carers to encourage them to tell us what they needed. As a result we produced this video designed to make health professionals aware of carers and their needs. The video is in colour, lasts 23 minutes and is in a flexible format which can be interrupted to highlight specific training or discussion points. Filmed in their own homes as they go about their daily tasks, four carers, aged from eight to eighty, describe their problems, how they cope and how they have been helped, including examples of respite care and support groups. Although originally made to help people involved in primary care plan their strategies to recognise and meet carers' needs, the striking descriptions of their lives can be used in a variety of situations where it is essential to raise awareness. These include training and education of medical, social and voluntary workers. The video can also be used to promote discussion in carers' support groups and other community organisations. Produced by Phil Davis. Creative Films Ltd. The video is available to order at a cost of £15 per copy.
Poster - Do You Know Your Carers?This poster has been designed to raise awareness of carers by doctors and staff in primary health care premises. Designed by graphic designer, Jay Obrecht, who has been a carer, it is in full colour and printed on A3 laminated paper. As with the video it can have other uses, particularly as a training tool for other staff who work with them and in discussion groups for carers. At present we only have overprinted copies of this poster, which can easily be used by replacing the printed addresses with labels giving information about your own organisation. We are therefore able to offer it at the much reduced cost of £1 per poster - 6 posters for £5.
Poster - Using the National Health ServiceOriginally produced as a tool for staff working with refugees and asylum seekers who need to explain what is provided within the NHS. Our aim was to show through lively, easily understandable illustrations the key role of the General Practitioner in providing and referring users to other NHS services. The poster has proved very popular, not only with refugee organisations but also with NHS and other groups who need to understand entitlement to NHS services. The poster was produced in cooperation with the Refugee Council and the Refugee Health Team of Lambeth Primary Care Trust and was designed by Jay Obrecht. It is in full colour and printed on A3 laminated paper. Cost £1 per copy including postage and packing.

Although some of these are now over 20 years old they may still be of interest to those undertaking research in similar fields.
