At just 17, Marco was playing high-level basketball, competing in tournaments across Europe. It was after one of his matches that Marco first noticed that he wasn’t quite feeling right. “I’d finish a match and I’d be feeling tired, and my heart would be thumping for a while.”

After an ECG, an echocardiogram and a Holter monitor (48-hour ECG) at a local hospital, no problems were picked up with Marco’s heart.

However, when symptoms worsened, Marco’s family decided to get a second opinion and searched online for the best paediatric heart consultants. It was at this point they came across HCA UK.

After virtual consultations and expert monitoring by Dr Martin Lowe, Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at The Portland Hospital, Marco was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). This is a type of heart rhythm disorder where electrical signals from the heart cause a sudden and rapid increase in your heartbeat, which can make you feel weak, breathless, tired and light-headed.

Together with his family, Marco chose to have a cardiac ablation, a minimally invasive procedure designed to correct the heart’s electrical signals and restore a normal rhythm.

The result? Marco says: “By four in the afternoon I was leaving the hospital… and a week later I was back training.”

When Brandon Zuck arrived in the UK for a holiday, waking up in agonising pain wasn’t part of the plan.

Following a trip to the NHS Walk-in clinic and a GP appointment, Brandon was referred to Mr Irfan Malik, Consultant Spine Surgeon at The Harley Street Clinic.

Mr Malik recalls, “I could see Mr Zuck sitting in the clinic… he was leaning to one side as he couldn’t maintain a normal posture. At that point, I thought, ‘This is someone in terrible pain'."

Following his MRI results, Brandon was suffering from a slipped disc in his neck that was pressing on a nerve.

Under the care of Mr Malik and the team at The Harley Street Clinic, Brandon received expert spinal treatment that transformed his recovery.

“As a Mental Health First Aider, I’m here to listen, reassure and guide, reminding everyone that no one has to face things alone.”

Meet Saeed, Staff Nurse at The Wilmslow Hospital and one of our Mental Health First Aiders at HCA UK. Whether it’s checking in on a colleague who doesn’t seem themselves or being a friendly ear when someone needs to talk, Saeed is there to listen and help people find the right support.

“As a nurse, naturally, I spend a lot of time talking to people in different roles across the hospital. If you see someone who seems to be struggling, we ask if we can help or support them in any way and then connect them with the right support to help them."

“I see this as a natural extension of what I do, because knowing someone cares can make all the difference.”

Creating a culture where staff feel heard, supported and valued is a key part of how we care for our teams, as well as our patients. Thank you to Saeed and our team of Mental Health First Aiders across HCA UK for their on-going and invaluable, time and support for others.
