Title: The Renal Unit's first Annual In Centre Haemodialysis Patient Survey
Post by: Stu on January 08, 2016, 02:40:34 PM

Greetings all!

Stu from the Renal Unit website here

I'm currently running a survey on my website to learn a little about the life of in centre haemodialysis patients.

It's completely anonymous and the data gathered will be analysed and published once the survey is complete in a month's time

So if you're doing in-centre haemodialysis and you have a spare five minutes (or less probably), I'd appreciate it if you could go fill it out

Thanks  :2thumbsup;

I suggest you clarify this survey does not include home patients.  I started to answer it, but I got confused as to what my "dialysis unit" was - my spare bedroom or the clinic where I go for support.

Good point. Will do. Thanks SD

Some interesting data coming through on this

Just a little tidbit:

Out of the respondents so far, over 85% say their units allow visitors, and nearly 45% say they want visitors "sometimes",  nearly 90% of people polled said they don't get any visitors

...interesting
