Step by Step through Stroke and Cardiomyopathy

Illustration I Public Information Guide
A set of illustrated Health Guides to cardiomyopathy and stroke

In 2024 the Irish Heart Foundation released two user-friendly patient health guides to living with Cardiomyopathy and Stroke. These health guides give practical tips on how to manage life after diagnosis, information to support recovery and rehabilitation, and contact details for medical and community support services.

It was key that these guides were designed to be user-friendly, and easy to follow, a new approach to patient resources, being less clinical and more relatable.

Sully Productions created a suite of illustrated patient and family characters and a team of medical professionals, of varying ages, ethnicities and genders for each guide. These characters participated in this journey to recovery and interacted with medical staff along their way.

Both documents were designed with an “Easy Read” style prioritising accessibility and comprehension for a wider audience.
