The team focuses on delivering renal replacement therapy to a group of patients from our specific catchment area. We are part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and have the advantage of a large multidisciplinary team to liaise with while maintaining our own individual identity.

We offer an exciting opportunity for a candidate wishing to specialise within dialysis services.
