This website, from the DIPex health education charity, presents videos of patients’ experiences of illness and other health-related matters, in order to help other people make informed decisions about seeking advice and treatment, to help them and their families cope and to provide a patients’ perspective to doctors, nurse and other healthcare professionals. The site is large, with over 25,000 video clips of people talking about over 75 different health issues, but its layout makes navigation easy.
A section on Learning and Teaching offers guidance on how to use the resource in education, with case studies, and examples of how to apply the resources in various curricula, including PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education), Religious Education, Psychology, Health and Social Care, as well as Medicine, where the videos can be used to teach students about the patient’s perspective.
