Eligible patients should by now have received a letter from the NHS (and/or St George's Hospital) and a PCR test kit as part of a programme to supply new treatments at home for COVID-19 to vulnerable members of the UK population. See below for more details. Kidney Care UK is offering an online seminar to explain these treatments and how eligible patients can access them.
