DBTH025CLIN 2024 Satellite Haemodialysis Services in Doncaster and Bassetlaw

Doncaster & Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides renal services for a population of about 400,000. The Trust currently provides satellite haemodialysis units at Montagu Hospital in Mexborough (serving the Dearne Valley area including parts of Rotherham and Barnsley) and Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop (covering the Bassetlaw area and neighbouring parts of Rotherham and North Derbyshire) in partnership with Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) as part of an Independent Sector Procurement (ISP) initiative, the contract for which terminates on 31st March 2024.

Acute dialysis services, home dialysis services (including peritoneal dialysis and home haemodialysis) and specialist outpatient services including transplant follow up are provided from the main unit at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Doncaster & Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust wishes to secure a satellite haemodialysis service maintaining provision for the Bassetlaw and Dearne Valley areas which:

• Is of high quality and close to the patients' homes;

• Is clinically and financially sustainable;

• Meets national and international clinical best practice for kidney services;

• Recognises the social and emotional dimensions of best practice in kidney care, which provide good patient experience;

• Recognises that kidney patients move from one modality of treatment to another and manage and support this process well, for example, many will go from pre-dialysis to peritoneal dialysis to haemodialysis to transplantation to haemodialysis to end of life care;

• Recognises the importance of encouraging patients to remain as independent as possible and therefore to encourage self/shared care based on local patient needs;

• Encourages access to renal care treatment;

• Improves the patient pathway and experience.
