I want to visit family interestate for a special event. Can I arrange a dialysis chair swap with a unit interestate?
The demands made by haemodialysis on the patient and family are considerable. The need to access a haemodialysis machine every second or third day dominates all aspects of life, including work, family and recreation. Holidays are an essential ingredient for a quality of life to refresh and re-vitalize the body, mind and spirit – and Kidney Health Australia is here to help. The Australian Holiday Dialysis Konnections program is Kidney Health Australia’s initiative to connect individuals on dialysis in different locations in Australia. You may be able to arrange a break, interstate travel for a special occasion, or a well earned holiday. This program allows you to identify possible travel options – we facilitate the exchange of contact information with another registered AHD Konnectee – you then liaise directly with this person to identify a ‘chair swap’ for the period you request. How does it work in detail? Kidney Health Australia ‘connects’ you with a dialysis patient from another pub
