Digital Storytelling for Health

At the Gathering in Swansea in June 2021 we made these 4 films covering 4 questions
​We launched the films at an international symposium on zoom on October 18th 2021
Why are stories important?
What happens when I tell my story?
Who chooses which stories are made? ​
Where do we go from here?
At the Digital Storytelling for Health Symposium  we watched each of these films and then had rich discussions around the questions

1 Why are stories important?
       What is a story?
       What is the difference between a video made by the communication team and a digital story?
2 What happens when I tell my story?
       How do we protect against creating second victims in a complaint story?
       What happens when listeners want to take action that the teller does not want?  
3 Who chooses which stories are made?
       Who owns the story (video) once it is made?
       What are the pitfalls in ensuring a clear consent process that empowers the teller?
4 Where do we go from here?
       How are you involved in Digital Storytelling for health? How would you like to be involved?
       What are your next steps?

​The event generated 29 pages of chat containing insights and further questions!
This event was jointly funded by Swansea Bay Health Board and NHS England & NHS Improvement
