Save Your Vein

Save Your Vein is an awareness campaign to educate and empower renal patients and teach healthcare professionals the importance of vein preservation. If kidney failure patients have multiple blood tests from the veins that we need to make a fistula, it lessens the chance of creating a successful fistula for dialysis.

This campaign, co-founded with Dr Christine Hall at the West London Renal and Transplant Centre in 2014, has been incredibly well received by patients and staff locally and we have now been given a generous grant from the British Kidney Patient Association to take it nationwide.
