- Abstract
- Home based dialysis treatments were among the earliest high technology treatments widely adopted in Australia for home use. Advances in membrane technology together with the development of access devices and delivery systems provided the opportunity of extending dialysis as a treatment to a wider group of patients. The evolution of home dialysis was infl uenced by serendipity. The right people and technology came together at the same time. Dr John Dawborn, supported by Sue Evans, trained with the fi rst home haemodialysis patient Peter Morris in Melbourne, who subsequently transferred to Sydney.
