We were invited to the Northern General Hospital (NGS) in Sheffield to run a workshop as part of the TP-CKD programme.
On discussion with the unit leads prior to our visit, they had asked us to engage the teams by sharing results of ‘Your Health Survey’ and facilitate them to gain an understanding of how they can be involved in embedding person centred care at the heart of practice.
NGS have been a key unit in the TP-CKD programme and have collected and returned over 300 Your Health Surveys from within their Haemodialysis (HD) and low clearance population.
NGS also lead the SHAREHD programme which is using Your Health Survey as one of the outcome measures whilst encouraging HD patients to participate in self-care through HD related tasks.
You can read more about our workshop at the Heeley Satellite Unit here as Rachel Gair, Person Centred Care Facilitator for the TP-CKD Programme reflects on the learning, future plans and outcomes from the workshop.
You can also read Catherine Stannard, Programme Support Officer’s story of the day here. It was Catherine’s first ever visit to a renal unit and her first time seeing a dialysis machine in action.
