11 Sharing the True Stories
12 Engagement of Indigenous ESKD patients Reported feeling excluded from information: There s a whole lot of us who just don t understand what s going on. They know though, the doctors and the nurses know, but they don t tell us. I don t know how to talk to the nurse or doctor. He comes down here and just checks out how we re looking after our body. It s not enough time. You don t go knocking on their door, [that s the] danger one. The door is locked. They sit behind closed doors. MJA 2008; 189:
13 Dislocation from community I was born and bred on these lands. How on earth could I go all the way to the city, away from my family and country, knowing there was no possibility for them to come down and stay with me, no accommodation, no facilities... There's no way I could think about being so far away... I'd just be in total despair all the time. (Senior community member, September 2010)
14 Kanyini Vascular Collaboration Kanyini: to have, to hold and to care Kanyini describes the principle and primacy of caring for others an obligation to nurture, protect and care for other people, family, country and the law KVC brings together Indigenous and non Indigenous researchers, health services and community to undertake research to improve health outcomes
