UK Renal Registry

Registry Financing

The initiation of the Registry was financed by grants from the Department of Health and from industry.

However, its continuing activity is self-funded by a charge to participating renal units of an annual fee per RRT (renal replacement therapy) patient registered.

In this way the Registry is able to remain an independent source of data providing analysis on national activity in renal disease.

The detailed accounts of the Registry are provided to the Trustees and a financial report is given at the annual general meeting of the Renal Association.

The annual fee per patient is less than 0.05% of the annual patient treatment cost.
