Biography

Collette completed her nurse training in 1988 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. Once qualified, she started working on the renal medical ward. It was here where Collette gained experience in many aspects of renal care. She was then inspired to move to the haemodialysis unit caring for both chronic and acute patients.  

After 11 years in which time Collette was now a junior sister on the chronic haemodialysis unit, she moved to the renal community team. The team was made up of 4 nurses whose role was to provide pre dialysis education, conservative management care and home haemodialysis. By 2010 it was evident that each area was getting bigger and harder to manage effectively. For the service to continue to offer excellent supportive care a review led to a division in the team which meant a dedicated service for both pre dialysis and home haemodialysis.

By March 2010, Collette’s role had become solely home haemodialysis. The dedicated role enabled focus and drive for the programme which in turn led to the expansion of their home haemodialysis programme.  

The programme at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is diverse in many ways and the patient group reflects that of many of their dialysis centres. It’s this ever changing challenge that keeps Collette driven.

This email will include a joining link that can be used to access the conference.

We hold several one hour practice sessions across the week when a member of SBK Healthcare staff will be waiting in Zoom to assist you. Please do pop in, say hello and make sure you are all set for the day.

On the day, when registration starts, you will be able to join the conference by initially entering a waiting room when there may be a short wait. In groups of between 6-10 people, you will be admitted into the main conference room to be greeted by a member of SBK staff. In the same group you will be taken into a breakout room and asked to turn on your video and microphone. A member of the SBK team will get your group started with some orientation tasks and ‘ice breaker’ topics, before leaving you to network.

When you are automatically brought back into the conference room for the start of the conference, you will be asked to turn off your camera and microphone so that the chair can start the forum. During each presentation you will be able to ask questions in the chat box function. The forum will include screen breaks, as well as topic themed interactive sessions which will take place in the breakout rooms.

But don't take our word for it. We have had some excellent feedback from attendees to the forums that have been held to date:

"Forum was managed extremely well, and very professional"

IAPT National Networking Online Forum 2021 - 21st January 2021

“I am sure like everyone else I was apprehensive with going online, not sure how we could network, the ability for all participant's to participate and the quality of the presentations - all my fears were diminished this turned in to be a great day, networking, leading and sharing still occurred and links still formed. The presentations were excellent and the quality of the forum and set up great and so easy to follow and timing excellent.”

Reduce Paediatric Emergency Attendance Online Conference – 8th October 2020

“The conference has been far more engaging than in a conference centre. This I think is because of the ability to participate in chat throughout and the use of the breakout discussions.” “Excellent day! Organisation was great - loved the break out rooms for chat. Virtual chat added another really useful way to interact during the day, which isn't available to us at the physical conferences.”

Leading Change in Clinical Coding Online Conference - 11th September 2020

"Very informative, lots of opportunity for discussions and very well organised virtually"

Providing Support for Children on Long Term Ventilation - Tuesday 9th March 2021

"I enjoyed the group chats networking listening to others experiences, I also like that there was a lead on each group so the chats were influenced and no awkward silences that can occur on web meets. I thought the larger talks were really good and easy to listen to."

Modernising Outpatient Services Online Conference – 16th September 2020

“This is my first experience of an online conference and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wasn't sure what to expect. Would recommend to colleagues to attend future events” “This has to be the best online conference I have been to, I really enjoyed the breakout rooms.”
