The Walsgrave Hospital Kidney Patient's Association.

WHKPA, originally called The Coventry and Warwickshire Kidney Unit Appeal Fund, was founded in 1979 by a small group of kidney patients, initially to raise much needed funds for the Renal Unit and Ward at Walsgrave Hospital.

The name was changed in 1996 as we became more of a support group in line with other KPAs and has grown to include over  300  members.

A new superhospital, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, has replaced the Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry as the main center for dialysis and kidney transplantation in the Warwickshire and Coventry area.

Renal patients attending George Eliot, Rugby, Stratford, Heathcote, Warwick and Cov & Warwick hospitals are all part of Walsgrave Hospital KPA.

We are a support group for renal patients and families: pre-dialysis, dialysis and transplant.
