COVID-19 rapid guideline: dialysis service delivery [NG160], NICE (updated 11th September 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 11 September 2020 we clarified our guidance for organisations on planned procedures and emergency pathways for creating dialysis access sites for patients with advanced or end-stage kidney disease.
