Thank you, its good to know they are a good team. May I ask if you ever had kidney biopsy there and how it went please? I currently attend the Satalite clinic at the Royal Gwent Newport where the Nephs come down from Cardiff so assume they are the same team. I have been under Prof Dr Fraser, Prof Williams who i understand went part time or maybe gone full time with with Rugby boys now as Paramedic and i have met Dr Phillips and Dr Meran, a good team so far. Hope everything works out for you home dialysing, good luck x
