Please...

Help this site to help you. By encouraging or if necessary assisting, others to record details of their health event you will help create a source of vital health information.

Do not record details of a current health event/complaint unless you have gained useful, factual information about managing or curing the complaint.

Check and double-check all details.

Before recording a health event;

  • create and edit your story in Microsoft word or other word processing software first;
  • check spelling of all content, especially medical terms as they will be entered as submitted;
  • be specific about dates and times wherever possible;
  • highlight what you consider to be the most important key (search) words in your case study - the minimum number of key words is 3, the maximum is 24, and;
  • print your story before coming back to this site. You can use your printed story to copy from when typing information into the form provided. Alternatively, you can copy and paste straight into the form.

    • Key (search) words will assist in the cross-referencing of your health event to similar events, therefore; before you nominate key words, ask yourself the question, “What words would I search for if I wanted to research my health event?”

    Please remember this site is dedicated to information worthy of sharing with other visitors to this site, therefore; before recording a health event ask yourself the question,“Could my case study help someone else?”

    Please minimize information wherever possible. Keep you entry concise. Remove all elements of your story which do not have a bearing on the journey or the outcome.

    Sometimes we are so personally involved, or so worn out from the journey that our perspective becomes clouded. If you’re having difficulty, ask someone you trust to help you shorten your story to just the details.

    The non-identifying information requested in the Entry form may assist in the formulation of statistical data relevant to all future visitors of this site. Help build statistical data by providing information which does not identify you.

    We encourage you to use everyday language in your story/case study. A visitor searching this site may search for medical terms or everyday words which match their symptoms.
