Ethics in action:- 💥gatekeepers of genetics and models that support equitable access 🫘transplant waitlisting: different models of work up, streamlining common issues, using data, prioritising living and pre-emptive 🇫🇯launch of @ANZSN Pacific working group #DNT2025

Kidney Supportive Care had a big platform @ANZSN:- 🚶measure and respond to frailty 😶‍🌫️post dialysis fatigue leaves patients with very few ‘good’ days ⏰time toxicity of dialysis 🫘more work needed in the exhausted graft 📚@ISNkidneycare has a whole curriculum #DNT2025

Quality improvement in focus 🔍 :- 🚦moving data reporting away from traffic lights 🌊 responding rather than reacting to variation 🖼️ reframing MnM as a QI opportunity 💫 QI innovation fellowships should become a recognised training pathway #DNT2025

Some important take aways and messages from the advocacy session:- 🐄 what are the sacred cows? 🤝 build relationships early 🔊 get involved before an ask 🎈lift your gaze 👭 engage consumers #DNT2025

Fantastic initiatives in the quality improvement showcase:- 🩸 rationalising routine HD path 🗣️ ACP in HD units 💬 communication skils workshops ♻️ green nephrology 💉AVF management 🏥 CKD care coordination 🫘 lived experience measures #DNT2025

The Dialysis, Nephrology & Transplantation Workshop is currently underway, with day 2 almost over! About 150 heads of units, renal specialists, & interventionalists have been examining the challenges in delivering kidney care, pursuing skills & solutions to improve and advocate.

And as he was introduced, one of the sexy men in nephrology, @brendonneuen discussed approaches of embedding kidneys in the mind of funders and research in clinical practice. A consistent message in #DNT2025 has been on what can be achieved when we partner with consumers.

Hannah Wallace challenged the status quo of early CKD management with different models of care, working with primary care, utilising nurse practitioners, and technology/telehealth, trying to #MakeKidneysSexy through a community and public health approach. #DNT2025

Day two of the Dialysis, Nephrology & Transplantation workshop kicked off with a 5k fun run 🏃🏻‍♀️#runningnephs #kidneycare

I loved the consumer debate which included @scholes_nicki and @KarenDwyer12. Some reflections:- 🕵🏼‍♂️consumers as change agents 🪙land on the side of the consumer 🏡consumers in every room, every discussion 💫valuing their expertise 🏁expectations at the outset #DNT2025

One of the solutions from FNQ was the creation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Health Practitioner pathway which has allowed the increased provision of HD care in four units. Need to think about broadening our workforce. What pathways could be created further?

Dialysis capacity remains a critical issue in AusNZ. Half of HD units have modified HD to manage this, many reporting harm associated. Ethical implications, causing moral injury. Multilevel approach needed, who will take responsibility? #DNT2025

Genuine thanks the sponsors of our Dialysis, Nephrology and Transplantation Workshop. Your support is invaluable in advancing nephrology and dialysis care. Your contributions help drive innovation, collaboration, and better outcomes for patients in our region.
