The University of Nottingham has uploaded an edited film of the Inside Out of Mind play, recently staged at the Lakeside Arts Centre, onto its YouTube channel. The film can be seen at http://youtu.be/Kbir0cCQPYM on the YouTube channel ‘NottmUniversity’.

 Inside Out of Mind played to capacity audiences during its run at Lakeside during 14-29 June 2013. The play is based on field notes collected by three health care assistants while working on an acute NHS dementia ward. The production was the brain child of Justine Schneider, Professor of Mental Health and Social Care within the Institute of Mental Health. It forms part of an official research project which Professor Schneider was commissioned to carry out for the Department of Health.  The video shows how the play has been used to raise awareness of dementia care and educate professionals involved in dementia care.
