What if the key to transforming public health communication lies in the art of storytelling? Join us as we explore this intriguing idea with Becky McCall, a seasoned medical journalist and a PhD candidate at University College London. Becky shares her unique journey from microbiology to medical journalism and reveals how digital storytelling can make complex health issues like antibiotic resistance more accessible. Inspired by historical narratives and equipped with insights from her experiences at the International Digital Storytelling Festival, Becky offers a fresh perspective on the importance of narrative in public health.
Becky isn't on this journey alone; she collaborates with her supervisor, Mike Wilson from the University of Loughborough, and learns from influential partners such as Common Language DST. Becky has co-created impactful stories like "False Peak" and "Stiletto" a narrative that highlights the emotional depth of a young woman's struggle with stage four bowel cancer. Through these stories, we witness the power of co-creation and empathy-building that digital storytelling fosters, particularly in personal and academic contexts. The episode underscores the potential of storytelling to bridge gaps and create understanding across diverse health experiences. Tune in for a compelling exploration of how personal stories can inspire change and shape the future of public health communication.
