Description

An NHS staff room. Another normal shift. What could possibly go wrong? The MDs Comedy Revue – UCL's funniest medical students – are fresh off the wards and back with a show inspired by real-life NHS stories. Free Medical Advice is a medical comedy that pivots away from blood, bits and bones, to examine a healthcare system in ITU. Doctors stuck between misguided management and uncaring politicians. Consultants trying to get rotas filled. Blackouts. The scariest part is that we didn't make it all up. Laugh, cry, and most importantly, receive some Free Medical Advice!

This production, while meaning well, cannot in good conscience be charging admission. If you enjoy seeing sloppy, under-rehearsed and frankly poorly acted GCSE drama productions then by all means, check out Free Medical Advice.

The message was important and necessary, and I appreciate acting isn't their first profession, but sadly this is a very disjointed performance. Disappointing

As someone who has worked for the NHS over the years, this was chillingly accurate.

They delivered a work that was well written, beautifully acted and covered some deep subjects that are important to talk about.

If you work for the NHS then go see it before the run ends. If you’re an NHS manager then go and have a talk with this lot as it could really help you.
