The management of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust's (UHB) four satellite dialysis services at Tipton, Kings Norton, Aston and Hereford, has transferred to Diaverum - the new provider organisation - who are providing care in newly built bespoke treatment centres.

The new, purpose-built dialysis centres provide light, spacious treatment areas for patients to undergo dialysis.

Patients benefit from state-of-the-art machines and technology to guide treatment. They are also able to see their renal consultant at the centre through regular scheduled appointments.

Other benefits for patients include:

• Wifi access
• Individual TVs for each dialysis station
• Soft uplighting to aid sleep
• Natural light with outdoor views
• Ample free parking
• Close to local public transport links

Patients began treatment at the new purpose-built units on Monday 3 November 2014.
