Why not use our resources in teaching? 
1)  We have over 30,000 video and audio clips of people sharing their experiences on a wide range of health conditions and social issues. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Email us to ask at: hexi@phc.ox.ac.uk.
 
2) The content is reliable: All of the content is based on academic qualitative research, from non-commercial funding sources. Copyrighted to the University of Oxford.
 
3) Learning improves with health experience videos: Research by Snow et al (2016)* showed that learners’ knowledge retention, confidence and exam results were much improved when our patient experience videos were included in their learning.
