1 West London Renal and Transplant Centre Welcome to Northwick Park Renal Centre Information for patients, relatives and carers Introduction The renal centre is located on Level 2, J Block and is accessible for wheelchair users. Northwick Park Hospital is a 62 station dialysis centre and provides dialysis treatment for patients in and around the Harrow area. It is the largest renal centre in west London. We manage the demand for the service by dividing our patients into teams. Each team is staffed by: a team leader(s), senior staff nurses, staff nurses and health care assistants. The teams are split as follows: Green Purple Red Blue Silver Aqua 11 machines 5 machines 10 machines We run a twilight shift on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and the patients are again split into five teams. The unit is open from: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to provide three patient shifts on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to provide two patient shifts Each member of staff wears a name badge and a Trust identify badge complete with their photograph. Our staff will also introduce themselves to you when you first start your dialysis. Who is who? There is a head nurse (modern matron) for the dialysis area. Her role includes ensuring high standards of patient care are maintained. To support her there are two operational managers. You can also see individual named nurses by checking on the noticeboard displayed in the purple team by the wheelchair scales.
2 Please leave valuable items at home as the dialysis unit or the Trust cannot be held responsible for your property during your time spent with us. What happens when I arrive for dialysis? please wait in the waiting area while the dialysis machines are prepared you will be asked to record your pre-dialysis weight then sit in your allocated chair until the nurse is ready to treat you your blood pressure will be taken blood samples will be taken at least on a monthly basis to ensure that the results from the samples are in a suitable range for the patient and therefore dialysis treatment is optimal for them. If you are unsure why additional bloods are being taken please ask and the nurse looking after you will explain. What happens during dialysis? Once you have started your dialysis treatment, you will be offered a hot or cold drink. We also provide biscuits but it is recommended that you bring a packed lunch. The amount of hours spent on dialysis can vary, three times a week for four and a half hours each time is the average. To help pass the time there are ceiling mounted televisions to watch but please bring your own headphones. The same nurses will stay in your patient team while you have dialysis. They will answer any questions or concerns you may have. You can use this time to ask for your blood results and learn more about your condition or treatment. If you wish to discuss anything in private we have a quiet room which is located in the green team area. If you want to use this facility please ask the nurse-in-charge for the key, however, you will need to be supervised by a staff member while you are in this area for health and safety reasons. Doctors rounds There are two consultant nephrologists that look after patients at Northwick Park Hospital. Dr Megan Griffith - is on duty every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Dr Neill Duncan - is on duty every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sister Claire Edwards is responsible for patient reviews every Monday or Thursday and patients will be advised ahead of time when they will be seen and who by. Patients who are on the twilight shift are looked after on a shared basis by Dr Griffith and Dr Duncan. You can choose if you would like to be seen while you are on the dialysis machine or in the clinic room. Please ensure you bring your current medications to every clinic visit. You will be reviewed on a regular basis and will be advised accordingly by nurses. 2
3 If you have a health problem that is not due to your kidney disease please see your GP. If you are prescribed any additional medication please let the renal team know prior to starting the medication. They need to know because some medications can be harmful to take when you have renal disease or you may require the dosage of the medication(s) to be reduced. It is strongly advised that you do not purchase over the counter or herbal remedies as these too may affect your condition. Please make sure you always have a stock of repeat medication ordered from your GP as there may not be a prescriber/doctor available at the renal unit to give you a stop gap prescription if you run out of your drugs. Close family and friends are welcome to attend your clinic appointments but we do not encourage them to stay with you during routine dialysis treatment this is for health and safety reasons as space is limited within the dialysis unit. Translators can be provided if necessary please make us aware that you will require this service as soon as possible so we are able to action this request in plenty of time for your visit. Please note there are strict criteria s to book translators and your needs will be assessed according to this.
