What do you see? (2005)
The powerful 10-minute film aims to raise awareness of how society treats older people.
The film takes a journey through a day in the life and a life in the day of stroke victim Elsie, played by actress Virginia McKenna OBE. Elsie craves compassion and understanding of the person she is on the inside rather than the useless 'carcass' she may appear on the outside. Elsie makes a heartfelt but silent plea for her carers to 'Look closer..see...me..'

'Listen to what I'm saying' person centred care and the Single Assessment Process: [video] [authors: Bernie Arigho, Keith Strahan] (2005)
Person centred care means listening to people to find out what is most important to them and without making assumptions. Care is holistic, and centres on the whole person: who they are, their life before, and how they currently feel. The emphasis is on what the person can, rather than cannot do.
This video (duration 37 mins) shows health and social care professionals working directly with individuals and their carers. There are no actors, and no prepared scripts. The film shows what a difference a person centred approach makes to individuals with many/complex needs. It links the Single Assessment Process (SAP), as the person centred health and social care framework, with other Department of Health policies e.g. long term conditions with its emphasis on case management. It outlines key principles of person centred care that are evolving, including holistic assessment, personalised care plans, sharing information, continuity and coordination, and self care/self management. A feature of the film is to hear the views of the individuals and carers themselves in 3 Case Studies with a Social Worker, Community Matron and a Community Mental Health Nurse.

Changing Workforce Programme, NHS Modernisation Agency,
Toolkit for local change : patient and staff perspective physical illness (2001)
This is one of a series of tools (Tool 13a) to support local implementation of role resdesign which are listed in the Role design directory of tools. This tool should be used during the early design and planning stages of a new or amended role to help generate lateral thinking. The video contains three case study scenarios which provide material for discussion on service delivery and role redesign. The scenarios are designed to deliberately emphasise points for debate, therefore some characters or scenes may seem over-exaggerated. Time required is suggested at between 30 - 60 minutes for this exercise.
The three scenarios are 'Tell me again Mrs Foley' - The patient perspective; 'Those are the roles' - The staff and patient perspective; 'A new role for Mr Cole' - The staff perspective.

Cumbria & Lancashire Workforce & HR Directorate (formerly WDC), Cumbria & Lancashire SHA,
Cold Tea introduction to single assessment [produced by: Cumbria and Lancashire Strategic Health Authority Workforce Directorate] (August 2004)
"Cold Tea" is a video (running time: 17 minutes) based on primary care, and has been adapted from the Changing Workforce programme video. Its overall aims are to introduce Single Assessment, outline the benefits of Single Assessment, and encourage staff to consider the implications of Single Assessment. The video is directed towards staff working in Primary Care and has two scenarios: one of Service-Led Care (which quite often staff will mistake for person-centred care); and the same scenario enacted as Person-Centred Care. It is a video which will spark discussion, and advocates person centredness, integrated working and person-held records for patients or service users. The video is accompanied by facilitators' notes.

MHA Care Group with support from the Alzheimer's Society
The Person - not the Problem MHA Care Group August 2002
A training and information video for everyone interested in understanding dementia. This very powerful drama is the story of retired GP Eleanor Jennings who has recently developed dementia. As she moves into a residential care home, her husband, also a GP, makes a visit to see how she is settling in. Issues highlighted in the video such as communication, care with dignity and respect, and acknowledging the feelings of relatives are supported with a booklet suggesting pointers for group discussion. 'The Person - not the Problem' shows the importance of getting to know and supporting not only the person with dementia, but also their partner and family. By encouraging family input and support whilst preparing a care package, staff are helped to understand better the person they are looking after.
Video duration 28 minutes.
