Dietitian / Improvement And Innovation Advisor | Capital And Coast District, Te Whatu Ora

‘Nourishing Your New Kidney’ came about in 2021 when I noticed inequities in the care provided to our renal transplant patients at Te Whatu Ora Capital Coast and Hutt Valley District. Guided using Improvement Methodology and Co-Design principles, a new dietetic transplant service was set up for our community. This initiative led to further improvement projects across our dietetic team at Wellington Hospital, and eventually myself taking a secondment with the Improvement and Innovation Team. I am passionate about promoting quality improvement, and believe all dietitians have the skillset to initiate sustainable change in their own workspaces.
