Skills videos

These videos were created to give patients and nurses a generic view of dialysis tasks that can be carried out by the patient or supported with shared care.

The SHAREHD vision is that we believe that people who receive dialysis at centres should have the opportunity, choice and information to participate in aspects of their treatment, and thereby improve their experience and their outcomes. These videos are one element that can help achieve this vision.
