Furness Renal Centre opened in July 2021 as a nurse-led satellite dialysis centre run and managed by Diaverum, on behalf of the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The centre provides dialysis in a modern and comfortable facility, accommodating 12 dialysis stations. All stations are equipped with individual TV screens for patient entertainment during dialysis. Free patient Wi-Fi is available in clinic as well as complimentary patient parking and accessible facilities.

The clinic also has a Minimal Care room, which is a separate space away from the main treatment room, where patients who are able to, can undertake treatment independently, giving them more flexibility and empowering them to take control of their care, with minimal or no supervision.

Light refreshment is served during dialysis. However, you are free to bring your own snack.

Furness Renal Centre is open Monday through Saturday, and closed on Sunday, Christmas and New Year Days.

Please be aware that the clinic is a no-smoking dialysis facility. You are not permitted to smoke or use e-cigarettes on the property.<.p>
