Documentary about Memory Loss and Amnesia
October Films, an independent television production company are currently developing a documentary about memory loss and amnesia. They would like to make contact with people who are in the first stages of coming to terms with the impact of amnesia and hear from them about their experiences; its affect on their day to day lives and those of their families and close friends. Their hope is to try and tell the human story behind memory loss, rather than focusing on making a scientific programme.

Participants Needed for Sibling Research Study
Laura Webb is a research assistant at Swansea Metropolitan University, and is doing some research funded by the brain injury charity Cerebra. The study is looking into what it’s like to grow up with a brother or sister who has a brain-related condition, and Laura needs participants who would be happy to talk to her about their experiences. The information will hopefully be used to write an advice booklet for children who are currently growing up with brain injured siblings.
If you are over 18, have grown up with a sibling who has a brain-related condition, and are willing to participate in an informal, confidential interview then please get in touch. My email address is lwebb.117086@students.smu.ac.uk
