Healthwatch Camden plays an important part in ensuring that service providers hear what sort of health care local people want. Young people are the focus of a social media campaign that Healthwatch is running from 23rd-27th April. Based on a joint project with 6th form students in Camden, videos available on Instagram from 23rd April, will explore the three top health issues for school students. Lindi Maqhubela of Healthwatch Camden talked to Camden Community Radio about how the campaign will run, why it matters and about how Sixth form students created content and designed the campaign.

Sally Buchan has an installation this week at the Flux Exhibtion
Camden-based multi-media artist Sally Buchanan doesn’t necessarily know what her projects are going to be about, but always knows that they are going to happen. Not surprising then that her contribution to the FLUX Exhibition – this week in the Parade Ground of Chelsea College of the Arts – is called ‘The Inevitable Installation’. Sally talked to Camden Community Radio while she was still on a high from the (not quite finished) work on her sculpture which she hopes will draw people into a space that suggests another world, another dimension. Consisting of ten cubes, each a different colour and constructed with scaffolding and organza that people can walk through or view from outside, the installation plays with shape and colour as overlaps transpose colours and convey different hues. On Monday and Tuesday ‘The Inevitable Installation’ will be assembled (and filmed with a time lapse camera) in situ.
Entry is FREE, Gates open each day at 11am. Chelsea College is next to Tate Britain at 16 John Islip Street, SW1 4UJ.Bus 88, Pimlico tube station or River bus to Tate Britain.

What Does HealthWatch Camden Do?
Frances Hasler of Healthwatch Camden explains how Healthwatch supports local people in improving services. By finding out what the priorities are for improvements in the provision of health and social care services, Helathwatch Camden then works to get things changed. Recently Healthwatch Camden helped the users of mental health services in Highgate to explain to Camden Council and to service providers what was wrong with the way that they were re-organising services. The work of Healthwatch Camden can influence future service provision on other issues as well.

My Mother - the Camden Town poet - and the King's Cross bomb
Mimi Romilly talks about her mother, Irene Romilly, an iconic figure in Camden and an original poetic voice. She reads from two of her mother’s works – one a poem and one an excerpt from her mother’s memories of the King’s Cross bomb in 1940. At the end, Mimi performs her own song – Oh daddy, daddy – as she carries the flame her mother gave her.
