How to maintain a Healthy Wellbeing when living with Type 1 Diabetes

Brief

The Paediatric Diabetes department at The Hillingdon Hospital NHS wanted to make an hour-long film about what it’s like to be a child or young person living with Type 1 Diabetes. The target audience was Schools, Parents and Patients, with an emphasis on empowering the child or young person to better manage their condition.

We won the tender by pitching an idea for a series of short films which will look at some of the key challenges a child or young person with diabetes might face during their adolescent years. Without an engaging participant or story to tell, we felt short films would better communicate each key message concisely and be easier to share across their social network with colleagues, patients and their families, along with local schools.

Outcome

Supporting projects that empower the health and wellbeing of young people is really important to us. This hospital video authentically communicates some of the challenges around mental health that children and young people face when growing up with Type 1 Diabetes.
