Home dialysis training

Home dialysis training

Shared haemodialysis care, visible training bays, up-skilled staff

If you are in an environment where everyone has control more or less of their own treatment, the inspiration is there for you to take more control. If you come into an environment where everyone is lying back and having the treatment ‘done’ to them, you’re influenced to do the same.  This was really important and I was really pleased to be on that shared care bay.
