Kidney Disease and Dialysis Symptoms
Exercise, Physical Activity in Dialysis
Laughter Therapy
Patient Reported Outcomes in Kidney Disease

Paul's program of research underpins this mission to improve the lives of people with chronic kidney disease. Research exploring dialysis symptoms, exercise, laughter and happiness, peer support, patient-reported outcomes, patient activation and home dialysis has contributed to this mission.

Paul is an investigator on three current NHMRC studies, and is active in:

Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Nursing Symptoms Group

The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) Nurses Working Group

The Global Renal Exercise (GREX) Network

Renal Society of Australasia (RSA)

Paul's most recent work is lead author of the:

ISPD/GREX Exercise in Peritoneal Dialysis Practice Recomendations

KDIGO Nursing Dialysis Symptoms... Read more
