In this film, Gregor discusses the support he was offered after his OHCA. He was offered a lot of advice and information by the healthcare professionals and by his GP. When he first came home he was still very tired and his concentration levels were not good. It took some time for his medication to get sorted, particularly the drug that he took to stop his blood clotting. Gregor looked for information himself on the internet, as he was unaware of any specific support that he could access. He recognised the importance of talking, with someone other than his family, about what had happened to him and so he organised some sessions with a clinical psychologist.
This website provides support and information for those who have experienced an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), their families and those who have been bereaved by OHCA.
