Your care is supervised by a referral nephrologist.
The nephrologists rotate through the dialysis centre throughout the sessions, so that they can intervene if necessary. They define and prescribe the technical procedures and set the pace and duration of the dialysis sessions according to your state of health.

Dialysis orderlies assist the nursing staff and are specifically trained in the work carried out in a dialysis centre and in the specifics of your care, depending on the modality chosen. They also ensure your comfort and safety.

Our educational approach involves several distinct stages:
