The value of patient-patient discussions
Whilst patients receive a wealth of education and preparation from their clinical team, many patients find it beneficial to talk to someone who has been in a similar situation and speaking from a lived experience.
We can help to connect your patient with one of our official VNS Therapy Patient Ambassadors to have an informal, one-to-one chat about their experience. By experiencing their own epilepsy journeys, this group of volunteers understand how it feels to be considering other options like VNS Therapy, after living with drug-resistant epilepsy and its challenges for many years.
VNS Therapy Patient Ambassadors have been trained accordingly and do not provide any medical advice.
They can speak to a patient or caregiver on a 1-to-1 basis, and some may be able to attend your upcoming VNS Therapy Patient Information Meetings.
