LAKPA has over 600 members – patients, carers, renal staff and others interested in kidney disease. If you are not already a member, do join us, it is free.

You will be joining a community whose mission is to be a trusted voice for kidney patients and their families in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and West Essex, the area covered by the North and East Herts Hospital Trust.

We campaign in areas that benefit kidney patients, particularly promoting organ donation, particularly kidney donation as this is the most effective therapy for end stage kidney disease, but its wider availability is constrained by the lack of kidneys for transplantation.

We are also running a campaign to deliver the project to increase home dialysis provision which has better outcomes for patients and saves on scarce workforce resources. Your support in these important areas is very much appreciated.

We organise trips and days out as well as many fun, fundraising and information events, all of which we will detail on this website. We publish a Newsletter three times a year, which we send out by post or email and have Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin accounts.
