Evidence that it works!
Our list of publications and prizes are our best evidence of having evaluated what we do and how we match up to others in the health communication space. The viewing figures of our PocketMedic library are growing every year as more and more people use our films to get the information and motivation that they need to make changes to the way they live their lives.
