About York KIN

The York Kidney Information Network (YorkKIN) is an independent network to provide accurate information, guidance, and support to kidney patients and those around them. It complements and links up with other ongoing kidney health related programmes and projects in the North Yorkshire area, such as the recently developed Kidney Patient Peer Support Network and a Patient and Carer Education Event called Pre-Dialysis START, both offered by York and Scarborough Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
