Satellite Renal Dialysis Units
This project provides a new approach to the design of satellite renal dialysis units. The design solution is a response to primary research conducted into the low level of quality of life, currently experienced by patients and staff in the UK. The proposal is orientated around a sense of community that encourages people to interact with others diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. The facility has been designed with patient choice and well-being at the forefront, within an educational environment. It will also provide a North East base for the National Kidney Federation charity and house the North East Kidney Patients Association subdivision.
