Greenacre

We look after people.  Ask anyone who takes part in our clinical trials how well they feel treated.  But our nurturing ways sometimes pay unusual dividends.   One of our patients, John Greenwood, whose blood pressure we were controlling, was leaving his job as a producer at BBC Television. 

“I was so impressed with the level of care by the staff at the clinic that I wanted to give something back.” 

John made our first video on hypertension screening.  That project gave him the idea for a new business. Now Greenacre Communications is up and running, making videos primarily for the healthcare sector.  John works with another ex-BBC colleague making films on a variety of health topics – blood pressure sc reening, a video on breast cancer in young Afro-Caribbean women in Hackney, healthcare advice for London’s Bangladeshi community, a promotion for a private orthodontics clinic in the West End and a series of information films for a gynaecological clinic in Manchester.   

“It was something that grew naturally from that first project for the William Harvey Institute” says John. 

He feels the research work is exciting and gives everyone who takes part the idea that they are helping the community.   “The clinic is different from other organizations. It’s more like a big family.  It was a pleasure working with the other patients to record their experiences about their treatment.”
