Kidney Community

The wider kidney community, care givers and professionals, the network believes play an integral role within the the design and future of our kidney services within the North West. 

The network values the collaboration it has with people with lived experience and their loved ones, carers, patient support groups, kidney charities, healthcare professionals, industry partners and other kidney organisations. Kidney Community web link below.

In the North West the Kidney Patient Involvement Network (KPIN) support three local groups based on Facebook. this is where patients and professionals can reach out for support ask of give advice, share experiences and be part of a local peer group. These are closed groups, with clear guidance in place of use so people within these groups have a safe space to reach out and support others. You will need a Facebook login to access these groups.
