Freddie’s Story is a high quality 20-minute training film about people with Learning Disability for medical professionals and hospital staff.

Freddie’s Story addresses many different aspects of the hospital environment through an engaging narrative based on real experiences and sound medical practice. As Freddie progresses from first arrival to correct diagnosis, giving consent and entering a ward, the film points up simple steps to good practice, with a focus on improving communication and inspiring everyone to respect and value people with Learning Disability.

Freddie’s Story was created by Blue Apple Theatre and directed by William Jessop. The film features a mix of learning disabled actors and medical professionals. The film was commissioned by Hampshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and filmed in partnership with and on location at Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust.

“My students were raving about it."

“A great introduction to all our training, especially if students cannot meet people with learning disability. Lots of teaching opportunities...”
Dr Jennifer Dolman
Consultant Psychiatrist, Eastleigh and Test Valley Learning Disabilities Teams
