SUMMARY:SKONP Presents: Our Diverse NHS - Film Screening & Talk
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:Southampton Keep Our NHS Public welcomes you to the GHT Cafe to enjoy an evening of film and discussion as we consider: Our Diverse NHS and honour those who have come to Southampton to contribute to the NHS. Come and tell YOUR story! About this event As part of a collaborative film making project with students from Solent University’s Television Production course in collaboration with SKONP, a series of short films were created to celebrate the NHS in Southampton. They all feature accounts of Southampton residents as they recount the affect the NHS has had on their lives. Two of these films will be featured in this event: Windrush - Beverley Dowdell, former nurse A Consultant’s Tale - Prof Bhaskar Somani These films will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Maggie Harding, a member of the SKONP committee involved with the making of the films. Maggie will be joined by Dr Cheryl Butler, historian and researcher into the Early Black History of Southampton, Beverley Dowdell, former nurse for the NHS and chair of the Black Heritage Association and Vilma Scott, retired nurse and former Director of of West Itchen Community Trust, Director of TWICS (Training for Work in Communities) and Director of Black History Month South. This event is part of the SKONP \'Celebrating our NHS: Southampton Stories on Film\' exhibition on display at GHT from 1st - 3rd July. Accessibility This event will be taking place online as well as in person at GHT. If you wish to attend virtually via zoom please book an \'online Attendance\' ticket and you will be sent a zoom link the day before the event.
