title: Do-it-yourself dialysis.
abstract: A small team of nurses at the Baxter Renal Education Centre in Kew, west London, trains patients to perform peritoneal dialysis at home, preventing hospital admissions and putting patients in control of their care. The centre is a homely and supportive learning environment for patients--and a rewarding place to work.
