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. 🚗
