Kidney Matters the News letter for Renal Patients at the Queen Elizabeth |
Kidney Matters is the newsletter for the K.P.A. and is sent to all renal patients on C.A.P.D.or haemodialysis, transplant and pre dialysis, who are receiving treatment at the Q.E. or the satellite units.
The newsletter is paid for from the funds that the K.P.A. raise during the year. The purpose of KIDNEY MATTERS is to keep patients and carers informed as to the work of the K.P.A., provide information to patients on different topics, which we hope will be of interest and to provide a link for patients who may feel very isolated due to their condition.
We would welcome your comments and ideas on how we may expand and improve on this and continue to help the 2300 plus patients with renal problems treated at the Q.E.
If anyone would like to contribute an article to the newsletter or the web page please send it in to the Editor. It could be about how you organised a holiday, Ideas on dealing with the condition of renal failure, coping with going back to work, success stories about receiving transplants, and how it changed your life. This would give hope to others who may feel very low at times and that the future looks bleak.
If you send your thoughts to the Editor the address is on the back page of the newsletter or on the contacts page, we will include them in future editions.
The Newsletter is posted to all patients three times a year.
Copies are in each of the dialysis units: Aston, Great Bridge, Smethwick, Hereford, Kings Norton, Sparkhill, Woodgate Valley, Worcester, Redditch, LLandrindod Wells and the R.D.U. at the Q.E. for patients to collect.
PLEASE look out for them.
Thanks for your support. |
Renal Patient Information from the Q.E. |
If you go to the section "patient information" you will find a list of patient information leaflets.
These have been produced by the Hospital they are free to download or you can obtain copies of them from the renal unit.
We hope you find them useful.
All the information is produced by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Renal Department.
