Patient information and support manager
Hi, I’m Corrine the Patient Information & Support Manager for Kidney Wales.
I joined the charity in 2022 and have a background of supporting kidney patients. I have two young children who’s father has kidney disease and has undergone Peritoneal and haemodialysis and is now a Transplant patient. Through his journey I learnt alongside him so was able to support him when on nocturnal dialysis at home, helping to set up his machine and assist when he needed me to.
I understand the ups and downs of being a kidney patient and the lifelong effects it has on patients and their families. I have always been honest to my children about kidney disease to help with their understanding and awareness.
In my spare time I like to craft and love to be creative, both my children love to make things too so when we’re not out and about we often get the craft trolley out to get messy! I also love to read and help run a small book club.
Working for Kidney Wales and being able to support patients and families means the world to me. Every kidney journey is different and listening to patient experiences and finding the best support for them is what I am here for!
