It has been running for over 10 years, as an annual event, screening at Universities in the UK and around the world from April 2020. The format is simple; we provoke discussion and debate with the audience and a panel of experts after watching 3-4 short films curated around a particular theme.<\/p>\n<p>At MedFest 2020 we will explore the significance of <strong>\u2018Diagnostic Labelling\u2019. <\/strong>What does it mean for a patient to be given a label? What does it mean for the doctor giving the diagnosis? And how do we navigate a world where some diagnostic labels are heavily stigmatised whereas others are sought? A label can have a transformative impact on a patient. It enables patients to access the treatment they need and gives the medical team a sense of accomplishment. But <strong>\u2018A Label\u2019<\/strong> can also make patients <strong>\u2018the other\u2019<\/strong>, move them from a state of <strong>\u2018being normal\u2019<\/strong> into a special category of <strong>\u2018abnormal\u2019<\/strong> which may lead to stigmatisation and discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medfest.co.uk\">www.medfest.co.uk<\/a> to find an event near you or contact us at <a href=\"mailto:medfest2020@gmail.com\">medfest2020@gmail.com<\/a> to get involved or for more information.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Announcement by Kirpal Sadheura, CT2 Psychiatry and MedFest 2020 Lead MedFest is an international medical film festival aiming to investigate and explore themes in medicine through the medium of film.
