World Kidney Day - 11 March 2010
The Dialysis Unit at Addenbrooke’s celebrated World Kidney Day on the 11 March 2010. World Kidney Day is part of an international effort to raise the profile of kidney disease world-wide. It is hoped that by raising awareness of kidney disease more patients will receive earlier and effective treatment preventing the need for dialysis.
As part of this education process it also serves to highlight the problems faced by patients who are having dialysis treatment and the difficulties the treatment causes for their families. By emphasising the importance of transplantation it may go some way to improving kidney donation both within the UK and more widely.
Staff from all parts of the renal service took part and can be seen here wearing their World Kidney Day T-shirts. All who took part enjoyed the celebrations and the day was a great success.
