Thank you for visiting our website – you will find details on what we do and the support that we offer to all affected with kidney disease, whether they are patients, carers, families and renal staff, or just have an interest in supporting kidney patients.
The Lister area extends beyond Stevenage, running dialysis units at Bedford, Dunstable, Harlow, Stevenage and St Albans.
LAKPA is run entirely by volunteers, all of whom have been impacted by kidney disease, so they bring to it a real understanding of the challenges that kidney patients face.
We can do this through the strong working relationships that we have forged with the Renal Clinical Director and his staff.
The renal team greatly value the role LAKPA plays in ensuring the patient voice is at the heart of what we do. They represent the patients and families that live with kidney related matters and LAKPA’s contributions directly improve their lives.

In addition, we have significant representation in the National Kidney Federation which gives a national as well as local voice for kidney patients. There are also a number of other national kidney charities and we have also included information on these.
