“A very informative day with great people. Speaking to a current patient on dialysis was helpful as this normalises having a kidney condition and living with it. The counselling was of particular use to me as this is an area which we often neglect and as a male do not engage with. Thank you to all involved for organising this.”
“The renal workshop was very well set up and everything flowed along very smoothly. The staff were very well informed and very helpful. The carers pack and recipe book were an excellent touch. Gordon’s input with the practical tips was very useful.”
“This has been a really helpful opportunity to learn more. The people here are so lovely, and it’s more reassuring hearing it all in detail like this. It’s also a great opportunity to share some experiences with others. Thank you so much for the recipes!”
“Really helpful information, lots that I did not know. Thank you so much to everyone.”
