Compartmentalising time and space: A phenomenological interpretation of the temporal experience of commencing haemodialysis
In this paper, we interpret the spatio-temporal experience of people with end-stage kidney disease and their families in the first months of haemodialysis.

Poor biopsychosocial preparation means haemodialysis commencement is experienced as a crisis.

Critical Limb Ischaemia presents a highly individualised set of personal and health circumstances. Treatment options include conservative management, revascularisation or amputation.
