Patients and caregivers
who have no direct experience of home
haemodialysis believe that home haemodialysis can offer
them more flexibility, freedom and time for family and
work and provide physical and mental liberation from
strict in-centre haemodialysis schedules. Some perceive
that starting home haemodialysis is an opportunity to be
an ‘exemplar’ for other patients, which might promote
the wider acceptance and uptake of home haemodialysis
by others.
