Who We Are and What We Do - ( English ) - ( Cymraeg )

The Welsh Kidney Patients Association (WKPA) is the patients own organisation covering all of Wales. We are independent and have been an all volunteer group since 1982 and a registered charity since 1995. Our elected management committee are mainly patients and includes one of our renal consultants. Our President is Professor John Salaman and our Vice President is Dr. A.J. Williams. We have over 2200 members.

The WKPA covers all dialysis units throughout Wales.


Membership of the WKPA is free and is open to all dialysis and transplant patients in Wales and their carers, who receive our free quarterly magazine, "Kidney Matters, Wales" We have a befriending service and develop self-help groups for patients and their families to share information and experiences. We provide information and have a welfare fund for needy members.

We liaise with the hospital dialysis and transplant units and with social work departments and statutory authorities, and more recently with the Welsh Assembly. We have an office within The University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Cardiff and work closely with the medical and administrative staff of the renal units. We have a good working relationship with Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust (now one of the largest NHS Trusts), meeting with senior Trust officers regularly.

One of our groups each year organises and finances the Welsh Transplant Games Team.
