Hi Chris,

Our main dialysis unit is separate from the Acutes hospital by about 3 miles.   Chronic patients continue to attend this unit and in-patients will be dialysed at the acutes hospital.  

Out-patients who are coronavirus positive but still in the community will be dialysed in a cohort within the chronic dialysis unit with deep cleaning to follow before next shift.   Big problem there is patient transport and that seems to change on a daily basis.

We are in the fortunate position of having a small population of patients though and this would be unlikely to work in a larger unit.
