An excellent nurse who is so passionate about her work, she is so inspiring when you hear about her work for early onset kidney disease and addressing health inequalities. Very proud to have her as a Kings Nurse πŸ’™ #TeamKings
πŸ“ΉΒ For #WorldKidneyDay, we're taking a #ThrowbackΒ to when we met Roseline, Community Kidney Nurse Researcher at King's! Through screening, Roseline found and helped people with early onset #KidneyDisease. Watch Roseline share her passion for working in community healthπŸ‘‡
