Kidney Beam

Kidney Beam is an online service helping kidney patients take care of their physical and mental health. It offers you a way to improve your physical activity in your own home.

The online platform is hosted by specialist kidney professionals - from renal physiotherapists to renal counsellors - from a number of different NHS trusts and backgrounds, as well as people living with kidney disease. Kidney Beam is aimed at anyone over 16, with any ability, any kidney condition, and at any stage of kidney disease.

All classes have a fitness rating so you can choose the right one for you. At the beginning and end of the classes you can chat to each other and the instructors, and building new friendships might help you to stay motivated.

Kidney Beam is being made available via the NHS in certain areas - please check their eligibility page for further information.

                                            Find out more about Kidney Beam                                     


 

   

 

                                           To find out more please click here!                                                

Kidney Beam is funded by the National Kidney Federation, UKKA, Kidney Research UK and Kidney Care UK.

    Introduction When you are diagnosed with kidney failure, you may be concerned about your ability to work. Everyone’s situation is different, and there is no right or wrong course of action. Some people continue with exactly the same work. Some change their role or their working hours. Others train for a different job. Some people give up work altogether, either temporarily or permanently.
