RED ARC Case Studies

At RED ARC we deal with thousands of patients every year. Some of our patients are willing to share their experiences with others to try to give them an understanding of what to expect and how RED ARC has been of help.

We include details of seven of those stories here and are grateful to these patients for taking the time to speak to us about their journey through ill health and their experiences with our Personal Nurse Advisers.

You’ll see that as well as being interesting personal stories in themselves these case studies provide an overview of where, when and how RED ARC might be able to be of help to you. They include:

A younger patient – Alexandra was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy at the age of 4, leading to several stays in hospital where she had to undergo many investigations. More...
