Hi all I watched a video on stress many years ago (it had a big impact, but not big enough for me to recall what it was called :) ) I think it was about an NHS manager in a smear test clinic in the 80s - it might have been a panorama type programme? It was about the amount of false negatives they experienced and his (fruitless) efforts to combat it - which resulted in a breakdown... Anyone any ideas or was it a dream? I think I recall him being angry at a washing machine in one scene - now this really might be dream territory ?

I too have a dim and distant memory of such a video/DVD clip. I also have a vague feeling that it could have been included in the IOSH Healthcare Managing Safely pack. I will be able to check this when I am back at my normal base tomorrow, unless anyone else has a copy of the original pack to check.

Hi there, I was relieved to discover that my memory is still good after all these years of H&S! I have found the video and it is from the BBC Learning - Business on TV. It was called A Cancer in the System and it was in the IOSH Healthcare Managing Safety pack. Not sure if it is available on DVD but I have the original video that I am guessing can be easily put onto a disc? IOSH may still have the original video or already have put it onto DVD Hope this helps. Lynne
