I am looking for colleagues to help develop mental health television (http://www.mentalhealth.tv), an online resource for patients, relatives, students and staff. At present there are about 100 video titles which can be viewed online. This represents an ideal outlet for educational resources which to date, have been difficult to distribute to a wider audience.

The site has been running successfully for nearly 2 years and has attracted significant interest from the media, including the BBC and quality newspapers. Clearly there are lots of opportunities, including online postgraduate lectures from international speakers. Importantly, as well as providing quality undergraduate education, the resource offers a real chance to develop programmes that would inspire students to seriously consider psychiatry as a career. Finally, there is the bigger picture to consider because a significant proportion of the audience so far has been from other countries. Please have a look and get involved.
