Job responsibilities

Department of Nephrology

Following the opening of the New Royal Hospital in October 2022, the Nephrology in-patient bed base has relocated and is consolidated across two wards in the New Royal Hospital. The Nephrology in-patient bed base has 42 beds (includes 8 regional renal High Care beds) and is co-located with Renal Transplant surgery who have 14 beds. The new model ensures that ALL complex renal patients in the region (transplant, dialysis, AKI needing organ support, complex immunosuppression) have equitable access 24/7 to a bespoke MDT Tertiary unit.

The Nephrology footprint extends beyond LUHFTs sites; the LUHFT renal team provide all aspects of kidney care - Acute Kidney Injury (AKI); Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD); Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT); conservative management of patients who choose not to have dialysis/transplant; and transplantation across Merseyside, including parts of Cheshire (Population c.1.06m). The Renal Transplant Unit provides services to the Wirral and North Wales (Population 2.5m).

The Regional Renal unit has a 33 stationed dialysis unit in the lower ground floor, with 8 bedded High Care Unit in ward 7C and another 21 dialysis plumbed rooms between the wards 7C and 7B.

In response to the NCEPOD Report there is a robust and responsive strategy for management of acute kidney injury (AKI) both within the Trust and in outlying Trusts with an integrated alert programme highlighting new cases of AKI. There are satellite dialysis units at Broadgreen Hospital, St Helens Hospital, Warrington Hospital, Halton Hospital, Waterloo dialysis unit and Southport hospital. Clinical Governance for these patients rests wholly within the Royal Liverpool University Hospital Nephrology Directorate, within the Divisional and Trust structure for clinical governance and risk management.

The Renal Transplant Unit (RTU) serves Merseyside, North Wales, and the Isle of Man. The transplant team performs approximately around 100 renal transplants per year with a planned programme to increase to 120 per year. This includes an active living door transplant programme and a comprehensive programme involving both non-heart beating donation and ABO incompatible donor transplants. Major investment here recently includes the agreed planned expansion of Consultant Transplant Surgeon numbers from 5 to 6. All Consultant Nephrologists when on-call have a commitment to nephrology consultations in the RTU. As per national recommendation patients who have been transplanted for more than 12 months are transferred back to Nephrology and are seen in dedicated post-transplant follow up clinic. We also attend acute transplant clinics and perform in-patient transplant reviews.

There are excellent opportunities and facilities for research within the Trust. The present areas of interest within the Renal Unit are diverse and include inhouse research capabilities along with involvement in various national and international studies.

We are committed to submitting data to the UK Renal Registry and pursue the standards set in the NICE, UKKA standards and agreed yearly CQUINS with commissioners. There is a robust quality assurance management programme with regular MDT meetings and audit reviews.
