- Exploration of potential ‘Value in Health’ approaches to the patient pathway for adults requiring Kidney Replacement Therapy in both unit dialysis and home therapies
- Aligning ISP services with home dialysis (HDD, CAPD, APD and PD) and in hospital services for potential streamlined patient pathways
C&V UHB is interested in engaging with suppliers both within and outside with renal services delivery to understand the opportunities for innovation and service improvement where applicable. Due to this, C&V are holding two days of supplier engagement sessions on Thursday the 13th February and Friday the 14th February.
