Still from the training video. Year 13 BTEC Media students have achieved great success in making a professional training DVD for the Paediatrics Department at Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough.
The school was approached by a Senior College Tutor and Doctor in the Paediatric unit at the hospital to produce a training DVD which would consist of lectures and information for new Doctors beginning their training with the Bromley NHS Trust. Year 13 BTEC Media students took on the task and after spending a few weeks planning and script writing, visited the hospital on nine occasions to film footage for the piece, amassing around 6 hours of raw footage.
The students acted in a thoroughly professional manner and were credited for their sensitivity in the environment and their approach to the work. The arduous task of editing was undertaken by the same group of students and the DVD was delivered to the hospital in time for their new intake of students in March.
Dr Ahmed, the doctor responsible at PRUH is quoted as saying “You would not believe how impressed people are. I am getting emails and phone calls from the staff who have contributed and they have liked it so much.” The project has been a success on another front; all students who took part in the project have gained invaluable live production experience and have achieved good grades towards their BTEC National Diploma course.
