Kidney disease affects more than 7 million people in the UK, yet it was largely overlooked in the Government’s new 10-year health plan for the NHS. Without action, it could place an unsustainable burden on patients, families, and NHS services.

The cause is close to our hearts here at GP Surveyors as Sidney, Rebecca Reynard’s  (Director of Agency and Sales) son and Jacqui and Chris Johnson’s (Company Directors) grandson, was born with stage five chronic kidney disease and is currently awaiting a transplant.

We are joining with the UK Kidney Association, Kidney Care UK, the National Kidney Federation and the PKD Charity to support the call for a national strategy on kidney disease.

A national strategy would help early detection, prevention, and fair access to treatment. The strategy would also deliver personalised care and ensure the urgent steps needed to prevent the growth of kidney disease. This really can improve people’s quality of life, save lives and protect NHS resources.
