Talking about palliative illness and future treatment wishes, including future resuscitative attempts, may not sound like a project that translates to art easily. But a collaboration between Falmouth University School of Art, and Cardiff University School of Medicine proved this notion wrong.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

A graphic design collaboration within medical palliative care settings demonstrated a\u00a0powerful and\u00a0effective way of addressing practical, psychological, social and spiritual issues that face people at the end of their lives, and was reviewed by patient\/carer representatives. The\u00a0‘Talk CPR’<\/a>\u00a0project in Wales [ii]<\/a> [iii]<\/a> has multiple facets, including work in 2017 with graphic design lecturers and students from Falmouth University, who have an end-of-life art project called MOTH. This is an ‘ethnographical’ approach to research, more details of which can be found\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The MOTH collaborative practice project team from Falmouth University, facilitated a project with a Welsh palliative care initiative for its twenty Stage 2 Graphic
\nDesign students, inviting external partners from medicine, palliative care, writing & design for the live environment.[iv]<\/a> Prof. Mark Taubert, Clinical Director\/Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Velindre University NHS Trust, Cardiff University School of Medicine, invited ideas on how visual communication designers and medics could benefit from sharing knowledge and skills to impact on policy, practice and communication regarding end of life matters. He gave a talk to the art students about the issues patients face in palliative care settings. Sometimes this involves thinking about future attempts to attempt or withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR hardly ever works<\/a> for people who have advanced cancer, and can be a very traumatic process for the body to go through. Mark, who is national lead for Advance Care Planning in NHS Wales, invited ideas on graphic designs to facilitate such discussions. This included patient information resources, such as the talkcpr.com initiative from Wales. It is a project endorsed by NICE and the Royal College of Physicians, and uses video materials to convey this sometimes challenging topic of conversation, both during regular working hours [v]<\/a> \u00a0in the out-of-hours settings. [vi]<\/a> The Covid-19 pandemic also saw an increase in use of online communication and associated resources. [vii]<\/a><\/p>\n

This resulted in the students, as part of their year 2 coursework,\u00a0 creating thought-provoking artwork that looked at CPR from a very different angle, compared to the more typical mainstream healthcare approaches of blue background patient information leaflets. Students produced videos, images and photographs (examples in images 1-3) These designs, as well as the stop-frame animation video they produced are still in use and are available on the TalkCPR website (Image 4: QR code that takes users to the TalkCPR video site) and on the BywNawr\/Live Now YouTube Channel. The \u201cKnow Your Heart<\/a>\u201d video, produced by students, has clocked up thousands of views.<\/p>\n
