“I like not having to travel to my appointments. As I’m doing well seems pointless seeing a consultant face to face. I know if any issues arise I can have the contact needed. I feel very confident using the new system.”

— MyRenalCare patient user

““Discovering I have CKD was daunting. MyRenalCare helped me to know that my CKD is being treated and I had a plan to
move forwards with, but this can take up a lot of time, for example by having to travel to appointments and similar. MyRenalCare is designed to help make our lives easier, with more direct access to our consultant when we need it.””

— MyRenalCare patient user

““I feel more involved in my treatment and care plan. I can keep track of things myself and it’s really reassuring to have that direct access to my doctor. The app has been mentally and physically good for me.””

2. Engagement

MyRenalCare is not just an app, it’s a new way of working

MyRenalCare helps you be more engaged in your condition by supporting you to self-manage it. This includes enabling you to record your clinical observations and symptoms, and if you’re on dialysis (home haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, both continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (APD)), record your treatments. Your clinical team are able to immediately access this data and perform remote monitoring. They will conduct 100% digital consultations and provide you direct feedback via the platform.

This new way of working requires less face to face appointments, meaning less time out of work /reduced need for child care, less travel and reduced risk of Covid. Remember to inform your clinical team of any concerns that you may have - they can access your record - but it is important that you inform them of your concerns and seek professional medical help.

3. Empowerment

MyRenalCare empowers you to have direct access to your clinical team as and when you feel you need it. In addition, you, in partnership with your clinical team will make the decision about when you will have your next follow up appointment, whether that be by phone, video or face to face.
