I normally dialyse at home and when away take my NxStage machine with me, but I am off on holiday shortly and am going to try the small unit located at Wells Community Hospital. It’s called the Mermaid Centre, and has a good reputation. They have just a few Fresenius 4008S machines, and provide holiday dialysis for visitors to Norfolk, as well as dialysis for locals. It’s about a mile from where we will be staying so is very convenient. They seem very well organised. I received a helpful booklet through the post from them in advance of my stay, with background information on the unit, and also details about the local area. If I had not already organised my break, this would have been a very useful guide. I’ll report back on how it goes once I have visited. In the meantime, they’re site can be found here: Mermaid Centre
