👏We’re delighted to see the commitment to transport support & clear eligibility criteria in this new NHS England guidance, helping address variation flagged in our 2021 #renal report 👇 Thanks to @KidneyCareuk & The UK Kidney Association for their tireless work on this on behalf of patients.

This is extremely important; supporting our patients in the ongoing energy crisis. Great work by KCUK which requires understanding by CDs and matrons and action by UKGov.
