Humanoid has recently created a series of short documentaries for South Staffordshire & Shropshire NHS Foundation Trust.

“Combating Stigma Within Mental Health” is the Trust’s campaign to end prejudice against people with mental health issues. Humanoid conducted interviews with current and former service users, all of whom had experienced stigmatisation. A series of reconstructions illustrate these harrowing events.

The documentaries were screened to Trust affiliates at their annual assembly. Several audience members remarked how moving they found the service users’ stories. Humanoid are optimistic that the perspective gained from these interviews will prompt a lasting improvement to the Trust’s services.
The videos will be available shortly on the Trust website.

Stafford Hospital executives commissioned Humanoid for a series of short videos promoting the Mid Staffs NHS Foundation Trust's "Taking Patient Care to the Next Level" management development initiative.

The videos – covering measures by the executive and staff to improve the Stafford patient experience – feature interviews with affected patients and team members across a range of departments. The clips premiered at the NHS Confederation's annual conference, attended by senior NHS leadership. 

Simon Kent, Executive Office Programme Manager for the Trust, explains the project: "the intention was to use tools and techniques to improve patient care and safety. I asked Humanoid to capture the improvements and patients' views in readiness to showcase our successful programme to the rest of the NHS."

The videos are soon to be available on the NHS Confederation's website and published online by the Guardian Newspaper.

As part of Stafford Hospital's "Taking Patient Care to the Next Level" project, Humanoid took an excursion to the Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. Researchers Pam Garside and Blaine Landis conducted an independent review of the leadership development programme, confirming the results to be overwhelmingly positive.

Humanoid interviewed both associates for the benefit of NHS leadership at the NHS Confederation's annual conference. Garside praised the initiative, urging executives to consider extending the programme throughout the organisation.
