We recorded this interview with Dr Browne in July 2021, where he describes his career working in Grangegorman and the transformative changes he brought to patient care and to the site of the hospital. The interview was originally screened as part of a special online screening of ‘Meetings with Ivor – Alan Gilsenan’s 2017 documentary, produced by Tomás Hardiman – on the life and work of psychiatrist, Dr Ivor Browne, Chief Medical Superintendent at St Brendan’s Hospital, Grangegorman for three decades from 1966. This special screening of the film and interview were presented at the 2021 Virtual Stoneybatter Festival.
