Imperfect Days, a new Science on Screen documentary highlighting how clinical trials are transforming healthcare for people living with diabetes, will premiere at The Pálás Cinema.

🎬 Directed by David Qualter and produced by Laura Qualter of Prospect Films, Imperfect Days follows Carmel McDonagh, Tony Marshall and Faye Burke, as they share their experiences of living with diabetes and taking part in clinical trials.

The film features leading researchers and clinicians from University of Galway, Galway University Hospitals and the @RCSI_Irl who are at the forefront of clinical trial research and innovation, highlighting its transformative impact across Ireland.

The 25-minute documentary was produced with funding from a Health Research Board grant to the @DiabetesCTN under the umbrella of @ScreenScience - a partnership between @CURAMdevices at @uniofgalway and @ardan_ie ✨

Imperfect Days explores the day-to-day realities of living with diabetes, with both sensitivity and humour. The film also shines a light on how clinical trials and public and patient involvement (PPI) are driving progress in diabetes research and care.

🗓️ The premiere will take place from 1–4pm on Sunday afternoon, December 7th. Tickets are free but limited.
