We are eager to increase the number of patients actively involved in their care, whether through Shared Care or Independent home haemodialysis. Our goal is to promote home dialysis as part of the renal unit’s strategy to deliver a service that encourages, engages, and successfully achieves self-care for 20% of patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT).
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
