Public Health Institute and Drama students create educational film on gang-related violence
LJMU Drama students have joined forces with LJMU’s Public Health Institute to create an educational film helping NHS staff deal with the consequences of gang-related violence in hospital
Faith Dawson, Jessica McGough-Sheils and Filipa Lamb-Vieira portray three young people caught up in a gang-related incident, suffering injuries and needing medical help.
This situation is one that many NHS staff find themselves in, treating victims who fear another attack and act out aggressively towards those trying to help.
The film is set to be shown as part of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course, run by LJMU’s Public Health Institute, for 60 NHS professionals and will be used as a teaching tool for safeguarding young people, in a clinical setting.
