Hello once again. Many apologies for being away for so long but I am back on form and raring to go.
On Saturday I attended the WKPA (Welsh Kidney Patient Association) AGM. It was a new experience for me as I have never been before. I was so pleased to meet so many different people from all parts of Wales; including West and North Wales. It was heartening to have such a positive response to the request for letters to be signed and sent to the Health Minister. We collected 50 letters on the day and had a request for many more to be sent.
Allison John had the opportunity to introduce the campaign to the meeting and the response after the meeting was over was positive and encouraging. We just have to keep up the momentum until the end of the Plus campaign in January and then the WKPA can hopefully take over the torch and carry it further. If all the patient groups across Wales work together I really believe we can make a difference. We have a Welsh Assembly Health Minister who is genuinely interested in Renal Issues but we need to continue campaigning to keep our interests in the forefront of the political agenda; this means writing to your AM and MP. I am going to sound like a broken record soon but I think it is so important that I am willing to repeat myself!
I was lucky enough to be elected onto the WKPA commitee; I hope I can do a good job and serve patients well.
