Global Dialysis updates
Katy Draper
Hi I'm Katy and I run Global Dialysis with Russell England. I am a trained nurse and used to work on the renal transplant unit at St Bartholomew's Hospital. I've worked in the healthcare world for over 25 years and love it! I enjoy helping people get the right information and the right care and campaign for the needs of patients, their carers and centre staff. I'm passionate about making Global Dialysis the best it can possibly be for dialysis users and their carers across the globe. I met Russ a few years, actually just by chance, and am so delighted to be working with him here! I have a son, William (9) and two Jack Russels - Harry and Potter and I enjoy my family, long walks in the countryside and marathon running!
