DVD information
These DVDs provide vital information to patients which will enable them to make the right choices about their lifestyle and, if necessary, treatment plans.
This project is the result of a unique healthcare partnership in which Kidney Research UK and the British Renal Society (BRS) worked in collaboration with the NHS, the National Lottery, the pharmaceutical industry, a number of key renal charities and advocacy groups to produce a series of patient-driven DVDs.
The DVDs provide valuable practical information to enable both the general public and more specifically, individuals suffering from kidney disease to improve their levels of understanding of their condition and other related disease areas and help them to lead a better quality of life through informed choice.
Module one
