Kidney Matters helps us to connect with people
living with kidney disease across the UK. It is vital that
patients are involved so that findings can have the
most benefit for patients, and the public.
The impact
Learning from people’s experiences and opinions
will help us understand what is most important to
people when making a decision about their future
kidney treatment. This information will inform future
education programmes in Wales, help others to make
the right treatment decision for them and their family,
and make best use of NHS resources.
Unit Dialysis
“In this study, we want to
learn more about people with
kidney disease, family members
and carers’ understanding of
available treatment options,
what they value most when
making these difficult decisions,
and the support networks
available to them across Wales”
