Inpatient referrals at Cheltenham General Hospital are seen as necessary, often in association with outpatient clinics 2-3 times per week.

Peritoneal dialysis catheter insertions under local anaesthesia, Tunnelled haemodialysis catheter insertions, review of unwell peritoneal dialysis patients, all of which has enabled us to significantly reduce the number of patients presenting to ED and admissions.
