| The
resource room has been
transformed since the pictures above were taken in 2007. The shelves
now
have books on the top shelf and NKF leaflets on the rest of them. There
is
a desk next to the shelves for a computer |
Where
is the Resource Room?
The resource room is
in the Renal Outpatients.
Moving from the waiting area it is on the right just past the Reception
desk |
When
is the Resource Room Open?
The Resource Room will be open during the working day. If it
is locked
the key is held in the RCIU room at the end of the corridor. |
What
Resources Are Available?
- A good selection of books on understanding and
living
with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These can be borrowed by patients
and carers on
the understanding they are returned as soon as they have been read.
Borrowers should sign them out at the RCIU unit.
- A wide
range of leaflets on relevant topics. These
include:
 | All of the
National Kidney Federation leaflets that
are not given out by renal staff to patients. They can be taken away
free and will be replaced by Tyneside KPA. However
the
Association has to pay for new ones. The cost is written on the
front and we would greatly appreciate a donation to help us run this
service. A blue collection tin is in place for donations. |
| A variety
of topical leaflets from different
sources that are free. |
3. Details of holiday providers for renal
patients
4. The use of a computer to access online
information
5. 5 portable DVD players and DVDs on renal
issues. These must be booked out through the RCIU and can only be used
in
the Resource Room or during haemodialysis. |
Ordering
National Kidney Federation Publications
Copies of the Booklet listing all the NKF
publications will be
available for anyone who wants to order books or leaflets direct.
