What we offer

24/7 consultant-led service

The private patients unit has a dedicated team of resident medical officers who are based on the 12th floor, who liaise with all consultants to provide comprehensive medical support to patients. The consultants are supported by a large multi-disciplinary team of dialysis nurses, transplant nurse specialists, dieticians, clinical psychologists, renal pharmacists and administrative staff. All the nurses in the private patients unit have been recruited with a clinical background or interest in ITU/HDU or renal medicine. The renal team liaises closely with consultants in other specialties.
