If you can't download
or don't want to, if you pop into the renal unit with a data key or a
blank CD I can copy the leaflets and articles you are after (with
Acrobat Reader) on
to it for you. I can also print them out for you if you want this. This
service is for those who do not have the resources to get hold of the
leaflets themselves.

The articles are all from the
"What I tell my patients about......." series. You will have to go
to the
British Journal Of Renal Medicine
to get them, choose the one you want, and then click on the title to
download (not the picture of the journal). Below is a list of the
