The Louis Dundas Centre for Children’s Palliative Care party

Louis Dundas

Louis Dundas was a patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital who died from a brain tumour in April 2008, aged four.

Although Louis and his family received specialist palliative care support, at times he still suffered terribly. Louis’ family experienced first hand the critical role that palliative care teams can play in supporting not just the child, but also the wider family. Crucially, their experience highlighted to them the lack of research in the field and the desperate need to share knowledge within the UK and world wide.

After Louis’ death his family resolved to help draw attention and funding to children’s palliative care. The intention is to create a world-wide resource – the Louis Dundas Centre for Children’s Palliative Care – which will promote research, training and practice in their son’s name for the benefit of very sick children.

Matt Minor, from ad agency Mother, worked with Jason Underhill at P for Production to produce a film to be shown at a high profile fund raising dinner at Claridges.

The film was directed by Fergus O’Brien, shot by Johann Perry and edited by Jinx Godfrey. Munky onlined, graded and mastered the film and worked closely with the event crew to ensure the screening was handled to the highest standard.
