From Beca Burdett e-mail:
In Bristol we are developing an accessible website that will include storyboards (online books) for different health scenarios that people may encounter, using photos. We would like to add storyboards about CT scans, MRI scans, ECG and EEG and would like to hear from anyone who has made such materials (in hard copy or for the internet).
