It may depend on wether you are an EU citizen. You would need to ask your unit to contact the hospital near where you are intending to study.

If you look on the UK NKF website there are details of where dialysis is available. It is very far reaching currently and there is a European-wide concordat to provide treatment, subject to medical fees. I would suggest you route yourself to that website as a starting point.
