2015 Learning Event

The 4th Shared Haemodialyis Care Learning Event took place in Leeds on 10th June 2015

The day had a programme packed with inspirational speakers and motivational activities and there were fantastic contributions from patients, carers and staff alike. The day focused around everyone sharing their experiences of dialysis and worked to build the confidence of patients and staff to become involved in shared haemodialysis care and make it sustainable.

We were active on Twitter (#SHCLeeds2015, @GoTeamRenal) and, as an exciting addition to the day, we were able to live stream the event to those patients, carers and staff who were unable to attend in person. The event was also recorded so if you missed it, or want to relive the day, you can watch the talks via the links below.
