How the Home Dialysis Campaign Began

In September 2020 the NKF hosted a webinar, discussing home dialysis during Covid-19. During the webinar, it was revealed that patients who dialysed at home were at a substantially lower risk of contracting and dying of Covid-19, compared to people who dialysed in a hospital.

Dr Graham Lipkin, president of the Renal Association, highlighted the impact Covid-19 has had on dialysis patients and shared national findings on home dialysis from the draft Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) report.

There were also presentations from patients and carers, giving their view on home dialysis and its benefits. The campaign began as five year mission to increase home dialysis.
