75 Years of the NHS: The use of hypnosis in medicine...


 

So, I Googled:
 
Is hypnosis medically recognized?

The answer:

Hypnosis isn't a stage act or some magical act. Clinical hypnosis is a type of medical therapy that's often used as part of a treatment plan that includes traditional medical approaches. Hypnosis can be an effective way to cope with stress and anxiety. In particular, it may ease stress and anxiety before a medical procedure or pain or cancer treatment side effects among other issues.

75 YEARS of the NHS: Chaos in and around the birdcage


From the archives...cannot remember theme, but this is the collage I made using one of my vintage FIRST AID manuals.

75 Years of the NHS.

 Giving birth can be a very confusing time.



New theme..75th anniversary of the NHS

The National Health Service celebrates 75 years of caring and making us better. The collage can be about the doctors and nurses or the nasty diseases that they have to deal with on a daily basis…or invent your own disease….or the hospital of the future.

Film Noir - Fan Me With A Kipper

One of Raymond Chandler's lesser known books.

Film Noir - Amazon 1896

Definately related to previous theme but made this morning. Cheap labour, poor working conditions etc. nothing much ever changes.

Theme of the Week - Film Noir

Inspired by a photo our son sent us this morning - mostly black but a strip of light across the face of his girlfriend. So just black and white collages if possible. Maybe influenced by those great films of the 30's and 40's. Have fun!

Clearing the Clutter.

 We apologise as this is personal …as that is what we are doing. It could be about re-arranging your stuff..piling it up or carting it off in a van. Whatever you do with your precious belongings made collage.
