In this episode of Hand Baggage Only, host Suzette Shahmoon speaks exclusively to actor and model, David Gant about his experience of being in hospital and the importance of friendships.

Recorded in the Medicinema at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, we get to hear how this amazing facility brings so many of the hospital's inpatients an escape from their reality and a real opportunity to have a cinema experience whilst helping to build friendships and conversations between the patients.

Being in hospital can be quite an isolating experience.

In this conversation with David, Suzette finds out to what extent our friendships impact on our mental and physical well-being when we're in hospital. This includes both those friendships which we've had for years and the small connections that we may make with a member of staff in the hospital or the person lying in the bed next to us.
