Live at the Cardiff Science Festival! Jamie Brewster and the patient as a battlefield.

The Aural Apothecary

In this, our first ever live show we talk to our first ever patient! Jamie Brewster is an architect with the DB3 group and shares with us, and our live audience, his experiences as a cancer patient. It is a heartfelt story peppered with humour and pathos, and one that offers healthcare professionals plenty of food for thought. As usual with The Aural Apothecary Jamie shares with us his Desert Island Drug ©, anthem and book choice.
In addition, healthcare design has been a key feature of his career and he has been involved in the design of hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the uk. He talks to us about combining his experience as a patient and an architect which led him to question the nature of the inpatient environment and suggest some new solutions in order to improve healing and aid recovery. We discuss his ideas which were recently presented at the 2021 European Healthcare Design Conference http://www.db3group.com/inpatient-environment-healing-module/.
Note; This show was recorded in front of a live audience in February 2022 at Milk and Sugar in Cardiff as part of the Cardiff Science Festival. The sound quality may not be up to its usual high standard. Thank you to the team at Cardiff Science Festival and Milk and Sugar (https://www.milkandsugarplease.com/) for their help and support and to our audience for joining in and laughing at our jokes.
Our next live show will be at the Clinical Pharmacy Congress, 14th May 2022 https://www.pharmacycongress.co.uk/.
