The Renal Services Transformation Programme sets out high-impact changes which include increasing home dialysis towards the Getting It Right First Time programme ambition of 20%. Kidney networks are working with commissioners and providers to implement these changes and increase provision across their populations. Data on home dialysis is collected by the UK Renal Registry and available through the National Home Therapies Dashboard at the following link:
