The development of the Sussex Renal Chambers reflects the growing need for specialist care in the private sector based on teams of consultants providing a range of care under one banner. This allows us the ability to place the patient first. It allows us to focus on individual specialisations and with the support of our team members, provide a broader range of skills than we could alone. Our service is supported by clinical nutritionists, radiology services and rapid access to patient pathology services.
