Aside from the burden of care and financial impact, caring for a child with CKD further involves juggling around several care settings. While there is plenty of information and support available, it can be very overwhelming for carers to navigate through this complex healthcare system.\u00a0 NAVKIDS<sup>2<\/sup> is a research program aimed at determining the effectiveness of\u00a0 a patient navigator program in supporting patients and their families through their CKD journey.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><h5 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular contact-button contact-button-navkids\" style=\"margin-top:0.25em;\"><button><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navkids2.com.au\/contact-us\/\">Contact us for more information or if you have any questions <\/a><\/button><\/h5><figure class=\"sc_image  sc_image_shape_square\" style=\"margin-bottom:2em !important;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/navkids2.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/NAVKIDs_Map_large-updated.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"columns_wrap sc_columns columns_nofluid sc_columns_count_3\"><div class=\"column-1_3 sc_column_item sc_column_item_1 col-space odd first\"><h6 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular\" style=\"margin-top:3em;margin-bottom:1em;color:#67328e;\">What is a patient navigator?<\/h6>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;justify&#8221;]A CKD-Care patient navigator is a trained professional who helps children with CKD and their families by supporting their care needs within the health care and community setting.

The program is completely free and voluntary \u2013 in return children and their families will be asked to complete some questionnaires and health assessments over a period of up to 12 months. As we are trying to identify the benefits of a patient navigator, some patients will have to wait 6 months for their patient navigator \u2013 this will allow us compare patients with a navigator to those without one. We can later use this information to encourage hospitals and kidney health centres to provide patient navigator programs in the future. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navkids2.com.au\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> <\/strong>if you would like more information about what is involved.[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1607575807532{margin-bottom: 1.3em !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;video-block&#8221;]JTNDdmlkZW8lMjBjb250cm9scyUyMHByZWxvYWQlM0QlMjJtZXRhZGF0YSUyMiUyMG5hbWUlM0QlMjJtZWRpYSUyMiUzRSUzQ3NvdXJjZSUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3Lm5hdmtpZHMyLmNvbS5hdSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMCUyRjEyJTJGTmF2a2lkcy13ZWIubXA0JTIyJTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnZpZGVvJTJGbXA0JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGdmlkZW8lM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1565325788576{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.navkids2.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/bg_orange.jpg?id=1748) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"sc_section\"><div class=\"sc_section_inner\">[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"sc_content content_wrap\"><div id=\"sc_testimonials_1077140627\" class=\"sc_testimonials sc_testimonials_style_testimonials-2  sc_slider_nopagination sc_slider_controls sc_slider_controls_side sc_slider_swiper swiper-slider-container\" data-interval=\"8856\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:3em;width:100%;\"><div class=\"slides swiper-wrapper\"><div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-style=\"width:100%;\" style=\"width:100%;\">\t\t\t<div id=\"sc_testimonials_1077140627_1\" class=\"sc_testimonial_item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_content\">Having a holistic understanding of how chronic kidney disease affects both children and their families matters to us. We know that families are affected emotionally, logistically, and financially. It's not always possible to share all this in a 30 minute consultation, though, so taking the time to figure out what really happens behind the scenes and the ways that the clinical team can provide meaningful long-term support is key.<\/div>\n                \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_author\"><span class=\"sc_testimonial_author_name\">Clinician<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-style=\"width:100%;\" style=\"width:100%;\">\t\t\t<div id=\"sc_testimonials_1077140627_2\" class=\"sc_testimonial_item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_content\">A lot of the government services\u2014getting support\u2014respite or things like that\u2014they are so hard to get and they take so long, you give up. At the moment, I have given up on just about all of them because it takes so much energy out of you and it is so upsetting. So you just learn to deal without them. Now I haven\u2019t been bothered to call them for the past two years because whenever you call them, they just always have an excuse, never return your calls\u2014you\u2019re not entitled because there\u2019s people who are worse than you.

But those things, there seems to be a lot of benefits and things that you aren\u2019t told about that \u2014 because that really helped at a time that we really needed it, because yeah going from paying say $120 a week for just preschool and day care to having three months of it paid for.<\/div>\n                \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_author\"><span class=\"sc_testimonial_author_name\">Mother, 20s<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"sc_slider_controls_wrap\"><a class=\"sc_slider_prev\" href=\"#\"><\/a><a class=\"sc_slider_next\" href=\"#\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"sc_slider_pagination_wrap\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1607575534727{margin-bottom: 3.3em !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;justify&#8221;]Children and their families enrolled in the NAVKIDS2 program will be assigned a patient navigator for 6 months to help them through their CKD journey.
