Medicine at the Movies Premier!



On March 13th the Old Operating Theatre Museum, Medicine at the Movies team went to Leeds to see our film made by Shaun Levin and Simona Piantieri and a team of writers.



It was a really good day and the film was excellent. The other films by the BDA, Thackray Museum, Jenner Museum, Hunterian Museum and the George Marshall Medical Museum were all excellent and also very moving.

They were typified by the BDA's film which was made by a really great group who were created a really sweet and funny film full of humanity and using effective but simple animation techniques. It was obvious that the learning experience was really very successful and enjoyable for the participants. It just shows how successful a learning environment a museum can be.

The films are soon to be posted on youtube and I'll post a link here.

For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
