SELL OFF - Peter Bach's film about the NHS screening

[knittable]

Hello, I've just watched a one hour doc (

) about the selling off of the NHS. I'd like to screen it somewhere in East Dulwich so more people will get to see it. Don't have any idea how to do this. I just know it's important that people understand what is happening and has been happening for some years in the NHS and what the implications are for all of the public. I know the film maker (Peter Bach) wants people to see the film. Anyone want to get on board and help me organise a public screening? Maybe upstairs in the EDT or another pub? Needs to be done soon. I look forward to hearing from you! We are all busy but this will affect us as we grow older and need treatments and our children do and our parents do so we can't hide from what's happening to the NHS.

Thanks.

As long as everyone is aware that most primary care (e.g. GPs) has never been part of the NHS - GPs are private contractors who have a contract with the NHS (or the firms employing them do, for non-partnerhip practices), but are not themselves employed directly by the NHS - neither are (most) of their staff, although sometimes NHS staff, such as District Nurses and e.g. CBT therapists are based in GP premises.

Hi Sarah,

It might be worth asking the advice of the local community cinema club - http://www.paradisofilm.co.uk/

Thank you James. I will.

Thank you for your reply. I think people should see this documentary. It's made by doctors who approached a film-maker. I'll let you know if we do a screening anywhere round here.
