Questions sent to the paramedic

Following the paramedic, Chris' reply, I have sent him the following questions for him to answer. Once I have received the replies from him, I will include the responses within the video. Hopefully as well as Chris' replies I will have also included responses from my mum, auntie or uncle showing a variety of different perspectives on how the diagnosis of the condition has affected them. Within the video, I hope to include primarily just facts and statistics with a small proportion of the awareness video being interviews, this is because I want everyone to receive the same from the video and not just be targeted at a smaller audience. 
I have included the email I have sent to Chris with the questions; 

Hi Chris, 
Thank you for your reply, as part of my video I would like to include some of your responses to the following questions

1. How did you first learn about this condition? 
2. Why did you decide to study this condition further?
3. What did you learn from studies?
4. How would you explain the condition to someone who is unaware of it?
5. What could be done to further help individuals to understand this condition and help those who are already affected? 

Thank you for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you

Email to the paramedic


On Wednesday 6th March I emailed the paramedic which provided his help and support to my cousin. My aim from the email was to ask for his authorization to include him and his responses within my video. From sending the email to the paramedic, Chris. I received a reply from him saying that he was happy to be involved within my project. 

Dear Chris, 
I am a student at Tupton Hall School currently doing my A-levels. I am participating in the EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) and doing this around the topic of of creating an awareness video about the heart condition ‘Brugada’ and the ways in which the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) supports this. 
My idea was stimulated after the sudden death of my cousin, Bethany Mycroft in 2015. I am aware that this is also close to you after the medical support which you provided on the day.
I am hoping that as part of my video I could interview some individuals amd get different perspectives on how the condition has affected them. I understand that you also completed a dissertation on around this topic. I am interested in your research findings. 
I respect that this may be a serious and emotional topic to you and you may not want to be part of the video. If this is something that you are interested in and you are willing to help me, please let me know so I can email you some questions, allowing me to include your responses within my video. 
Yours sincerely

Final Project
