Health and social care can affect every aspect of our lives. Illness is more than a list of symptoms; it also impacts on our work, hobbies, family life and our mental wellbeing. On healthtalk.org and socialcaretalk.org you can learn about what it’s really like to live with a health condition or social care issues, by watching other people share their own stories on film. The websites are run by the Dipex Charity. We help millions of people each year to feel better prepared, better informed, and less alone in what they are going through.  Our research partners, from universities across the UK, have collected thousands of personal health stories by talking to ordinary people in their own homes.
