Renal Dialysis
The Management Team are presently preparing a business case for the provision of Holiday Renal Dialysis at the Hospital. This is a service which is presently unavailable in Norfolk and which will support the local economy through the promotion of the local Tourist Industry, as well as offering much needed care and support to those with chronic conditions.

Due to the complex processes involved in negotiating NHS services, we will be unable to offer this to the local community in the first instance but WILL endeavour, once established to do so.

In the mean time we are presently fundraising for the set up costs of equipment. Donations would be gratefully received and can be sent to Wells Hospital & Hospice Trust care of the Hospital.

If you would like to express any concerns about the provision of renal services in our area, the East of England Commissioners are presently consulting the public. You can register your thoughts by going to;
