We offer temporary dialysis away from the patient's home to enable patients to travel on holiday or stay with family or friends.
The service has developed numerous overseas links and can support patients wishing to travel further afield.
Referrals
GP referrals are not required. Holiday / temporary dialysis arrangements can be made directly with the holiday co-ordinator by the patient, their representative or their home dialysis unit.
Although we have a dedicated administrator to support this function, we are becoming extremely busy and we must insist that patients provide us with at least six weeks notice to ensure we have sufficient time to secure a dialysis slot in the away unit and to complete all the necessary paperwork and tests required.
If you wish to identify an away unit and provisionally agree slots directly with them prior to contacting the St Helier holiday dialysis co-ordinator, please do feel free to do this but remember we still need at least six weeks to prepare.
Note: the above is subject to change so please liaise closely with your unit when thinking about arranging dialysis away from home.
