This a vital component of care and is essential – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Sadly there simply isn't enough psychological & social support for kidney patients. None of the 84 units in the UK employ the recommended number of social workers, only 5% of the 84 units employ the recommended number of psychologists kidneycareuk.org/news-and-ca… #Corrie #Carla

A MUST READ from @jwmagar for #kidney patients, nurses, doctors, carers, everybody. Such a good and forward thinking explanation about the challenges of #haemodialysis & why #fluid is key to so many of the worst symptoms. Please print for those not online! tinyurl.com/yy6sm76b

Great to see this happening. Max and Keira's Organ Donation Law will save thousands of lives. Thank you so much to @Geoffrey4CovNW @DailyMirror @JackieDP @LordPhilofBrum and everyone who made it happen.❤️❤️ #PassItOn
Today we are launching a new public awareness campaign called Pass It On. From spring 2020 the law around organ donation in England is changing to allow more people to pass on more organs to save more lives. To find out more information please visit organdonation.nhs.uk/faq/wha…

I was thinking yesterday, since I started Dialysis. What is one thing we can all do something good , even by retweeting to become an organ donor to sign up. Maybe out of 10 followers maybe 1 person might sign up , that be your legacy. #dialysis #organdonation #givelife #kidney

Sadly, around 3 people die every day waiting for an organ. Make 2019 count, join the Organ Donor Register and give hope to patients on the waiting list. ow.ly/Xb3y30ng9vT #YesIDonate
