Shared haemodialysis care

Whilst we are used to having our healthcare provided when we go into hospital, we often feel better when we are supported to take an active role in helping to look after ourselves with support from the professionals.

If you need to have regular haemodialysis treatment in hospital or at a haemodialysis centre, you can choose to learn about, practice and even become an expert at doing some of the tasks yourself. This is called shared care. By getting involved you can feel more independent.

The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has produced a video to help you prepare for shared care whilst on home dialysis.

Shared HD's website contains useful articles on how patients can be involved in their treatment.
