Prize for best psychiatric video

Our division is fully committed to promoting and engaging activities for all members of the Division. We are keen to raise awareness of digital technology within the Division, as well as highlight work being undertaken by trainees and SAS doctors who are members of the London Division as well as medical students and foundation doctors working in London with an interest in psychiatry. 

To broaden this further, the division is introducing a prize for best video produced on a given theme relevant to Psychiatry.  Digital media and the use of creative videos is advancing, and we want to keep on top of this advancement.  We feel that videos around an area in psychiatry/mental health will enhance engagement and increase viewer retention. It also offers better communication as videos can convey complex information more effectively than text, as they allow for visual demonstrations and can better capture tone and emotion.

The London Division’s video prize is an excellent initiative to not just represent services and experiences within psychiatry and mental health, but also engage our members in a more modern format.

Who will be Eligible to submit a video?

1. All trainees and SAS doctors who are members of the Division.
2. Medical students /foundation doctors who have an interest in psychiatry
