Cleveland Hospital Primary Care Hospital issued the following announcement on Nov. 26.
Staff and patients have launched a £500,000 appeal to transform the kidney unit at The James Cook University Hospital.
The hospital’s renal team provides more than 3,000 outpatient appointments every year, but they want to ensure this outstanding care is delivered in a first class facility – and they need your help to make it happen!
Treatments have advanced over the years and can now often be delivered much quicker which means fewer patients require an overnight stay in hospital while more are attending for clinics and day case procedures.
Plans have been drawn up for a new and improved outpatient facility that is purpose built to meet this increasing demand and provide the very best environment for patients.
The revamp will see a complete redesign of the renal day unit area to increase clinical space and bring the trust’s specialist renal nurses together in one place.
Clare Allinson, lead nurse for renal services, said: “Our day case work has expanded and grown, but our environment has not. There’s now less pressure on hospital beds for kidney care, but this means demand has increased for outpatient services.
