NAKED VOICE

We’re honoured to host Dr. Bhawani ‘Bu’ O’Brien, a compassionate leader in voluntary assisted dying (VAD) based in Australia, for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation. Dr. O’Brien shares stories about her journey, the profound privilege of helping patients in their final moments, and the emotional and ethical complexities of this work.  

As the future of VAD is hotly debated at the political level now, this conversation provides timely insights into how these decisions impact patients, families, and healthcare providers. And according to the campaign group Dignity in Dying [https://www.dignityindying.org.uk] “84% of the public support the choice of assisted dying for terminally ill adults”. 

Join us for a deeply human discussion about dignity, choice, and the realities of end-of-life care.

The last year or so has seen unprecedented times in the advertising and marketing world – very tough times to say the least!

With many consolidations within the large networks, resulting in lots of job losses; independents struggling or even going out of business and clients facing the same challenges, the NAKEDHEALTH team chat about their views and experiences, including:

- Is this the worse it's ever been?

- Has the usual 'recession-proof' pharma industry been impacted as much?

- Why is this happening?

- Will it get better?

A gritty, thought-provoking episode this week, reflective of these times – where sadly many are still experiencing hardship and no sign of new work.

The benefit of the NAKED crews' experience (aka age) is it allows us to look back and reflect on a few decades of healthcare creativity.

Do we think it's got more creative over recent times or less? Any campaigns and agencies from 'back then' really stand out - and what about now in recent times? Will AI make the future more or less creative?

We chat about all these things and more - tell us what you think - has healthcare advertising got more creative or less?
