The Patient Voices Programme
The Patient Voices Programme[edit]
The Patient Voices programme was established in 2003 and is run ( where? ) by Dr. Pip Hardy and Tony Sumner. They work to produce and distribute stories from all actors in healthcare (staff, carers, patients and relatives) ( distribute to whom? ). Thus "patient" alludes to the adjective "patient" as in forbearing, uncomplaining, tolerant, long-suffering, resigned, as well as the noun - the person who is in need of care, the patient. It is one of the longest-running ( since when? ) digital storytelling projects in the world and, as far as can be determined, the only digital storytelling project to focus specifically on healthcare.
The method employed to find these voices and make them heard is digital storytelling, a concept developed by StoryCenter in Berkeley, California ( citation needed ) and refined ( how? ) by Patient Voices to meet the needs of storytellers that for various reasons may be vulnerable. Their workshop approach is documented in the film "Three days in Cambridge" by Darcy Alexandra and Reto Stamm (2017). See link below. ( include reference inline, WP:REF says how )
