After fifty years of unwavering care, nurse Kim Helm is retiring — but her legacy lives on in the lives she transformed. Starting as an 18-year-old at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre, she dedicated her career to children with kidney disease and transplant patients, becoming a clinical nurse specialist for over 25 years. One of her patients, now 18-year-old Aliza Rafi, calls her “like my grandma” and is preparing for the British Transplant Games — a testament to Kim’s lifelong impact. Kim also helped build community through the transplant games team, earning praise as an “enormous presence” who always went the extra mile. As she steps into retirement, she reflects on a deeply fulfilling journey — most of all, she’ll miss the children she cared for, their families, and her colleagues, knowing she helped turn fragile lives into thriving ones.
