About The NKF

NKF

Helpline

The Helpline is one of the most used services offered by the NKF.

Open between 9am to 5pm – Monday to Friday, this service offers help, advice and support to kidney patients, carers, hospital staff and medical professionals. You can call the Helpline on 0800 169 09 36 or email them at helpline@kidney.org.uk. The Helpline card is available by contacting the NKF. The card lets people know that you are a kidney patient and you can write your emergency details on the back.

NKF

Website

The NKF website is the information hub for kidney patients, carers and professionals.

If you do not have a computer, look it up at your local library or at a friend’s house. Search for www.kidney.org.uk and you will be amazed. Use the site to find other people in a similar position to you; exchange views; or simply browse the hundreds of informative pages relating to kidney disease. Find your local Kidney Patients’ Association (KPA), learn more about holidays on dialysis, and read stories from other kidney patients.
