A CCTV-style depiction of NHS workers in distress has won Frontline19 – the nationwide service delivering supervision, debriefing and emotional support to healthcare workers in times of crisis – and its agency adam&eveDDB the latest Thinkboxes award for TV creativity.
The two-minute film depicts how NHS workers feel when they’re left alone. The ad opens with a sombre shot of an ambulance’s interior, where a worker sits in shock staring at the wall after treating a patient – and a series of similarly harrowing sequences follow. The ad ends with a direct appeal to donate to Frontline19 so NHS workers can get the emotional support they need.Frontline19 is a charity with a tiny budget, which would typically narrow its media options. But it needed to make a significant impact. This made TV the obvious choice, though it can only use it through donations and partnerships.
