Dialysis
Purpose
With the end-stage kidney disease population growing we continue to focus on optimising access to the best dialysis option for each person who needs it. This could be dialysis at home (peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis) or in-centre dialysis and includes the need for the most appropriate vascular access. We will be taking work started by the dialysis at home and vascular access workstreams and developing the next steps to deliver improvement.
