ABOUT THE CLINIC
At Diaverum, we offer our patients consistently high standard of care in every one of our clinics worldwide. Our care model delivers superior medical outcomes, based on a highly standardised system of clinical governance and practice. We also know the importance of truly empowering patients to live a fulfilling life, and our True Care culture ensures a holistic renal care experience. Because everyone deserves a fulfilling life, our d.HOLIDAY programme enables patients who wish to travel, to do so in full confidence that they would receive Diaverum care, across our network of clinics worldwide.
Our purpose-built Laurie Solomon Renal Centre, Blackburn opened in August 2022 as a satellite renal unit of the Royal Preston Hospital. Diaverum operates and manages the centre on behalf of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We provide high quality life enhancing renal care for patients in the Lancashire area, offering HD and HDF services in a modern and safe facility accommodating 24 dialysis stations. The Unit is nurse-led and equipped with accessible facilities, individual TV screens as well as free patient Wi-Fi for patients’ entertainment.
Light refreshments are served while on dialysis. However, you are free to bring your own snack.
Laurie Solomon Renal Center is accessible, with good transport links. The Unit is open Monday through Saturday from 07:00 to 18:30 hours, and closed on Sunday, Christmas and New Year Days. Please be aware that this Renal Centre is a no-smoking dialysis facility. You are not permitted to smoke or use e-cigarettes on all Diaverum renal dialysis facilities.
