COVID-19 rapid guideline: dialysis service delivery [NG160], NICE (updated 7th August 2020)

The purpose of this guideline is to maximise the safety of patients on dialysis, while protecting staff from infection. It will also enable dialysis services to make the best use of NHS resources and match the capacity of dialysis services to patient needs if these become limited because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On 7 August 2020 we changed the recommendation on how long people need to stay in the cohort of patients known to have COVID-19.
