Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is the process used to remove waste products from the blood when the kidneys aren't working, and Nicki and Kysha from the PD crew at Banfield Kidney Health are two of the best in the business. 🤩🤩
Nikki has been a cornerstone of PD care at Metro North for over 25 years, with her experience playing a pivotal role in supporting patients who wish to work, travel and continue with hobbies despite being on dialysis.
"We look after 70 patients in the Metro North area and it's great to see them adapt to dialysis in a positive way and accomplish their goals" Nikki shares.
"It's a very rewarding job that Kysha and I have, teaching people to do their own dialysis, and it's a great team who make training fun."
👏 Shoutout Saturday to Nicki and Kysha for their dedication and expertise, that shapes the care provided at Banfield Kidney Health.

The new quiet space at Caboolture Hospital`s Paediatric ED is a calming place for children and families who feel overstimulated in the waiting room. ☺️ 🎧
Nurse Practitioner Bek has been listening to families` experiences and has pioneered the Quiet Space, a room that offers calm and reduces sensory overload.
Bek included patient`s suggestions when considering colours of the walls, the chairs and gentle sensory `white noise` inclusions such as the bubble light. 🫧
"The number of families who`ve shared that their child has managed to stay for the duration of their care has shown us that the room is making a difference," Bek shares.
"Creating an inclusive, welcoming environment is what I`m passionate about, and I`ve always wanted to find what will work for not only neurodiverse kids, but for everybody - our staff included.
"Bringing your `quirks to work` should be encouraged, because it not only helps staff, but in turn provides calmer care for the patients too."
