DEVIL project progress

Thank you to everyone who is taking part in this project, especially those that have been submitting data since December.

This initial phase has been about testing out the technology and understanding the general patterns of the results submitted. We can now work towards being able to give individual feedback. In the mean time you will notice that we have added a question about fistula function, we want to see if we can use this to help predict fistula problems at an early stage.

This project is open to any Derby Renal patient, so if you know anyone else who might be interested then please do encourage them to get in touch via the unit or this website.

Finally if you wish to make any comments or give any feedback on this website then please send us a message.
