Haemodialysis care
Straightforward information for patients and families considering haemodialysis. Speak with our team about clinical requirements, branch availability and what to expect next.
Enquiries are welcome at all three of our branches. Please call to confirm availability before travelling.
Understanding treatment
Haemodialysis uses a machine and a filter called a dialyser to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do enough of this work. Blood is returned to the body through a planned access point.
It can be part of ongoing kidney care, alongside medicines, monitoring and other support. A qualified kidney care professional decides whether it is appropriate and sets each person's treatment plan. The schedule, session length and access needs vary, so individual instructions matter.
If you are exploring care for yourself or someone close to you, the first step is a conversation with the treating clinician and the centre. Ask how the teams will coordinate records, prescriptions, appointments and follow-up.
A clearer conversation
Details are personal to your health and prescription. These steps are a guide to the questions to discuss before a session is arranged.
Before treatment
Ask who oversees your prescription, which records are needed, what access information to share and whether any preparation is required before arrival.
During a session
Our clinical team will monitor your treatment during each session and explain who to alert if you feel unwell or have a concern.
After treatment
Before leaving, confirm the next appointment, any instructions from your care team, how results are shared and whom to contact with questions.
Preparing to enquire
You can call first if you are unsure what to bring or whether an appointment is needed.

Common questions
Haemodialysis moves blood through a filter and back to the body to help remove waste and extra fluid when the kidneys cannot do enough of this work. It replaces some kidney functions; it does not cure kidney failure.
The schedule and duration are prescribed for each person by their kidney care team. They depend on clinical needs and should not be copied from someone else's plan. Ask your clinician to explain your own prescription.
If available, bring referral notes, recent kidney test results, a current medicines list, information about your dialysis access and details of previous treatment. Contact the branch first to confirm what is needed.
Requirements can depend on your situation and care plan. Call the team to discuss the clinical information and referral details needed before arranging a visit.
The current listed price and what it covers are shown on the price list. Medicines, laboratory tests and other clinically required services may be separate; ask the team for an itemised explanation for your situation.
