"Therapeutic art making is an important part of the consumer's journey," she said.

"I've seen growth that has exceeded my expectations, and the platforms that we've created here have helped some of our consumers launch careers in the creative field with amazing artwork."

"I'm so glad I get to bring joy to those in highly restrictive environments." ... See MoreSee Less

Trypanophobia is a fear of needles, affecting approximately 10% of the population.

For some patients who require needles regularly, including those who receive dialysis multiple times a week, it`s important to have someone like Emmily on your side. 💉

Emmily is a Registered Nurse in the Home Haemodialysis Unit, supporting kidney patients to become independent. She helps patients as they transition into performing dialysis therapies at home instead of travelling to hospital. 🚗

"Home haemodialysis can be daunting for our patients, particularly overcoming barriers such a needle-phobias and learning to cannulate themselves, which is not an easy technique to learn," Emmily shares.

"We help patients to take control of their therapy and health, allowing them to be empowered in their own care and making it work for their lifestyle."
