Patient Support - Pre Transplant


Be An Active Participant In Your Care

Everybody desires a good quality of life.
Having a heart or lung condition makes you
no different.

You should not suffer alone in silence. By
learning more about your condition, knowing
how to manage and adapt to it, and
benefiting from the knowledge and
experiences of others, you are becoming
an active participant in your own care

Your visits to the doctor may even become
more informative and less confusing if you
understand your condition, and actively
participate in your own care.

Support is something we all need during
certain stages of our lives, to cope with
difficult situations.

Heart or Lung Disease can be a stressful life event. Apart from the physical symptoms, you may feel anxious, worried, irritable, isolated, confused or depressed.

Patient support is all about helping you to manage and control your symptoms, overcome these feelings and feel confident and happy again. Patient support can help you and your carer find enjoyment in a renewed quality of life through information, friendship, encouragement and shared experiences.

Patient support is not just for patients it is for families and carers who often need support as well. They also feel stress and concerns about what is happening and need the opportunity to learn and to meet with others to share experiences

  • You need good informative and reliable Information

At this stage it would be best for you to have read the section in this site called :  -The Transplant Journey  This section will explain the transplant journay from when you first feel sick to your discharge from hospital after your transplant.
