BEMIS Project

List of available DVDs 

(updated 02/06/2011)

In 2007 Climb started a 2 year project with Birmingham Children’s Hospital Inhertied Metabolic Disease Department. 

This research project included the funding Specialist Metabolic Nurse.  The project applied for and received full ethics

approval in the West Midlands which allowed us to distribute questionnaires and complete at home interviews which were

completed by over 150 families.

This project is funded for 3 years by

Primary function to provide information on metabolic diseases to people from black and ethnic minority communities in

England

Climb’s Bemis project will provide up-to-date information

on newly filmed DVDs with world renowned specialists,

covering specific conditions and issues

The DVDs will be accompanied by leaflets in English and Urdu for families to view at home and be empowered with

knowledge about their condition and treatment.

The primary function of the leaflet being in English and Urdu is so that Health Visitors, Midwives etc visiting the family can

read the same  information.

What is on each DVD

Over 100 DVDs will be produced by the end of the project in March 2012 and we will  translate the leaflet information into

other languages where necessary.

We are currently working on MCADD translations in

Spanish, Italian, French, Portugese and Turkish

(European holiday hotspots)

The benefits to Climb are many and varied but the major benefit is that we are reaching more

and more families and adults and helping them to understand the diagnosis they have received
