There are many clinics and hospitals that offer HD treatment.

The dialysis session is completely performed by trained medical professionals, who will be available during the treatment. In between treatments you will be able to consult your healthcare team, if required. If you wish to dialyse in a self-care centre, your dialysis session will be managed by you in a clinic setting. Your healthcare team will be available to support you during the treatment.

The dialysis machine and medical supplies are all available at the centre.

HD treatment is usually done three times a week for approximately 4–5 hours.

You will be given a regular schedule of when to perform a treatment, for example “Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 7 am”. You will be responsible for arriving on time at your dialysis centre for your treatment.

Being in a dialysis centre also gives you the opportunity to see and talk to other patients who are in a similar situation
