This week we are joined in conversation by David Luck, Archivist for the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

Alongside his many other hats, David looks after the historic records held at Bethlem Museum of the Mind, including those from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, the Maudsley Hospital, and Warlingham Park Hospital.

Bethlem Museum of the Mind records the lives and experience and celebrates the achievements of people with mental health problems and it seeks to explore and discuss issues around mental health, both in the past and the present day, using its collection of art, objects, and archives.

CW: Please note this episode contains upsetting material concerning racism and mental health.
