Dates to Remember:
As an association, we publish up to six editions of our newsletter annually. These newsletters are completely free to our members and are delivered directly to their homes.
Any organisation depends upon communication for its survival. The North West Region Kidney Patients’ Association newsletter is a vital link between committee and membership, between members themselves to express their opinions on their treatment and other matters. It is also a place where hospital staff, whatever their role or discipline, can have their points of view made known and where WE the membership can be kept up to date with current treatment developments. Just because we are kidney patients’ and often feel awful, doesn’t mean that we have no sense of humour.
The newsletter always tries to be entertaining as well as informative. Anyone can write - you ALL have a story to tell whether tragic or funny. Grammar, spelling and writing style are NOT important - that’s why we have an editor. We will sort out any mistakes and save contributors from any embarrassment!
Please email us for details on how to submit articles, alternatively send them to the Editors address that appears on the back of our newsletters.
