About this work
Description
The programme considers some of the ideas of Ivan Illich presented in his book "Medical Nemesis", and Dr. Bradshaw explains two projects based on Illich's philosophy; the AMIGOS Life Centres, loosely structured, demedicalised health educational elements in a live community centre, to be run by and for the laity in co-operation with local GPs and hospitals; and a new journal that will take a critical look at what the medical establishment is doing, particularly its counter productive activities in the health field as reported in the standard journals.

Notes
This tape is one of more than 120 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and early 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest.
