Medical Photography and Illustration

The team's role

We are an Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) award winning department (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and all our photographers are Registered Medical Illustration Practitioners (RMIP) or are students completing the relevant (IMI) qualification and/or are members of the Ophthalmic Imaging Association (OIA).

The principal function of the Medical Illustration department is to produce clinical illustrative material specifically in the areas of patient care, medical education and medical research.

Some of the services we offer include: general medical photography, specialist ophthalmic photography, press and PR photography, digital video recording and editing, multimedia production i.e. CD ROMs, DVD's, medico-legal photography and video and we advise on website design and NHS identity.

We are responsible for the design of all patient information leaflets and corporate documentation including the Annual Report, the 'Your Hospital Your Choice' newspaper, the Fundraising newsletter and other adhoc publications. We also assist with the design of the Trust website including provision of most of the photography & video clips. We provide a full design service for presentations, posters, banners, signs etc. and offer slide and print scanning, and much more.
