Our main hub is the Queen Alexandra Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals on the south coast employing over 8,700 staff.

If you share our values and our enthusiasm for getting it right for patients, colleagues, and our community, you will find a home at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust.

The Wessex Kidney Centre (WKC) at Queen Alexandra Hospital is a regional renal and transplant centre, looking after more than 1,500 patients on renal replacement therapy and performing around 100 kidney transplants a year.

The WKC provides a comprehensive renal service to an adult population of approximately 2.2 million, covering the majority of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and the adjacent parts of Wiltshire, West Sussex, Berkshire and Surrey.

Our renal service consists of three main areas - nephrology, transplantation, and dialysis, providing a service across several sites.

We also specialise in the care and treatment of patients with acute, chronic and end stage kidney disease and offer treatments including:

- Haemodialysis
- Haemodiafiltration
- Home therapies - peritoneal dialysis and home haemodialysis
- Acute therapies - plasma exchange and haemofiltration
- Kidney Transplantation

WKC is centred in dedicated premises at Queen Alexandra Hospital (QAH). The WKC provides a comprehensive renal service to an adult population of approximately 2.3 million, covering the majority of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and the adjacent parts of Wiltshire, West Sussex, Berkshire, and Surrey. There are 835 patients in the dialysis programme (650 on haemodialysis (including 85 at home) and 100 PD), and around 1000 patients with functioning transplants. The Unit takes on around 110 new patients with end stage renal failure per million adult population per year and undertakes approximately 100 renal transplants per year with a significant live donor programme. Patients are referred for pancreas-kidney transplantation to the Oxford Transplant which performs monthly assessment clinics within the outpatient department on the Renal Unit.

WKC provides home haemodialysis with a dedicated support staff. This is an ongoing development with the aim to continue to provide home HD to all patients who are eligible. The Peritoneal Dialysis Team is nationally and internationally known for acute start PD, medical PD catheter insertion, nurse-led education and training, PD pathway and conscious sedation protocols.

WKC has a 5-year strategy for service improvement which will see significant transformation to enhance patient care in the coming years, this includes a strategy for haemodialysis delivery which will see the redevelopment of some of the existing dialysis facilities and a plan for relocation of two of the existing units.
