During the Covid-19 pandemic, Popham Kidney Support collaborated with the Welsh Kidney Network and various charities to disseminate essential Covid-19 guidelines and services. These efforts were crucial in ensuring the safety and support of the kidney community in Wales. Working closely with the Welsh parliament, the group played a vital role in advocating for the health and well-being of kidney patients during this challenging time.
Post-pandemic, Popham Kidney Support has identified the need to maintain ongoing dialogue with the Welsh parliament to ensure continued awareness of the services available, address the needs of the community, and work towards fulfilling any unmet requirements.
With Mike Hedges as Chair and Joanne Popham as Secretariat, the newly formed cross party group is dedicated to working closely with its members and the Senedd to guarantee easy access to services for all kidney patients and to develop new services that address the evolving needs of the community.
Joanne Popham said:
“We are excited about the potential this ongoing collaboration can offer. Our primary focus is to ensure that every kidney patient in Wales has access to the services they need and that their voices are heard at the highest levels of government, to ensure they have the best quality of life possible.”
