Martyn Hutchings Chairman's Corner These past few weeks since the AGM have been busy for me and the WKPA Committee. The magazine has been sent and I hope you have managed to make time to read it especially with Christmas coming up. I particular enjoyed the article on our three Welsh athletes at the British Transplant Games in Belfast. Myself and a few others attended the first meeting of Welsh Government's All Wales Cross Party Kidney group. It was good to meet all the Assembly Members who are interested in helping patients by listening to us and then influencing the Minister and Government. A major issue for us is supporting the opt out legislation and I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to write in to provide your views on the opt out. Finally if you have any concern or want some help dealing with your kidney problem then justcontact us either by phone, letter or email

Patient Gerald Davis, from Bridgend, South
Wales,and Liz Baker, Lead Nurse for Renal
Services, in Morriston Hospital, Swansea,
talk about the new self-care dialysis unit which
is empowering kidney patients and giving them
greater flexibility over their dialysis treatment.
Staff in the unit work with patientsto train them
how to use dialysis machines. Patients can
then either carry out the treatment in their own
homes, or come into the hospital to dialyse
themselves, which offers them increased
flexibility about when they have their treatment.
