NHS training drama
6th August 2009
It's not often any of us can say we might have saved someone from serious injury or even death, but thanks to our recent training video productions for Suffolk Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, JMS may someday be able to say just that.
The programmes covered hygiene and hand-washing, resuscitation, breakaway techniques when attacked and, in two short, highly-charged dramas, the prevention or management of aggression.
Here, the keys to success lay in creating characters credible to healthcare professionals, and in building dramatic tension within everyday situations. This called for careful casting, the creation of an accurate script checked by practitioners in the field, and finally, following rehearsal, encouraging the performers to enhance the flow of the drama through improvisation.
"It was a bit of a high-wire act" says Producer/Director Luke Witcomb "keeping the performers at exactly the right pitch in each take - because as they got deeper and deeper into the characters, their levels of aggression and fear intensified.It was scary but very convincing". Each scene built towards a cliff-hanger, leaving the audience to ask themselves 'So, what would I do next?'
The client's verdict?"The videos are great!We're very happy with them."Sonia Barzey, Education and Workforce Development Department, SMHP.
