Just because you’re on dialysis doesn’t mean you can’t get out and see the world. In fact, travelling can be healthy for the mind, body and soul. Here’s what you need to know before you set off on a healthy holiday this summer.
Planning a holiday is exciting! Whether you prefer returning to places you know well or exploring new terrain, we at NephroCare want you to have an enjoyable and relaxing break from everyday life. All it takes is the right information and some careful planning.
Choosing a location
You don’t have to travel far or even leave the country for a holiday to be great. Consider going by train, bus or car – you have so many options to choose from! If you are feeling anxious about leaving home, we want to reassure you there is no reason to be afraid. Wherever you are, you are in good hands with our competent, friendly NephroCare staff.
One piece of advice to put your mind at ease: book a holiday in the vicinity of a NephroCare centre. This way you won’t need to make a long journey every other day to a dialysis clinic for treatment – a short taxi ride will usually do. Moreover, you’ll have peace of mind about the standard of care you’ll receive. Get an overview of all our centres on a map and search for them by country online at nephrocare.com. There you can also browse through patient stories and country specials for inspiration.
