Is there a Doctor in the House?

Performance and Forum Theatre 2019

Director: Patrick Morris

Partner: University College London (UCL) School for Primary Care Research

Collaborators: Dr Sophie Park and Dr Ruth Abrams

This project honed in on the GP-patient relationship, particularly around important issues relating to delegated home visits.  We adapted the script of ‘Not Quite Right’ (see below), to produce a forum theatre event at the Bloomsbury Theatre in October 2019. 

The action of the play focussed on a paramedic being delegated by a GP to carry out a home visit, and the consequences of this decision as the patient worked their way through the health system.   

The audience included healthcare practitioners, students, patients and the general public.  Sophie Park and Ruth Abrams will be presenting their own analysis of this process at the Social Research Association Conference in November 2021.
