Lenny first entered the world of renal nursing as a graduate RN in 2006, where she discovered the joy and challenges of CKD, from peritoneal dialysis to transplantation through to end-of-life care. At 26 years old, she became one of the youngest Clinical Nurse Specialists on the renal ward.
Lenny discovered renal nursing on her first nursing rotation as a graduate RN in 2006. While she has worked in all areas of renal care, including dialysis, transplant, and end-of-life care, her main passion is working together with patients and healthcare professionals to slow the progression of CKD. In her role as National President of the Renal Society of Australasia, she works closely with her nephrologists to optimise CKD care; prepares patients for dialysis and transplant; and supports patients and their families with end-of-life decisions.
