Introduced by Sue Lawley and Anton Rodgers, and with a script written by a multidisciplinary team, including patients and their relatives, this video is designed to be shown to patients before treatment.

Research has shown that those patients who are shown the video prior to receiving treatment experience significantly lower levels of treatment-related anxiety and depression.
