“Do No Harm”
Henry Marsh

Lead: Karen

Written by a brain surgeon, all about his experiences of brain surgery; the risks he knows he takes and the wonderful work he does.  The back of the book says it’s ‘an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of a life dedicated to operating on the human brain, in all its exquisite complexity.

How does it feel to hold someone’s life in your hands, to cut into the stuff that creates thought, feeling and reason?
How do you deal with the consequences of performing a potentially life-saving operation when it all goes wrong?

“Do No Harm” is an unforgettable insight into the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital.    Above all, it is a lesson in the need for hope when faced with life’s most difficult decisions.

 

All welcome – no fees – just come along to listen even if you have not read the book.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
