Hi Elaine,

Thank you very much for that, I've got to have a meeting with my boss about the implications of dialysis & sickness and sorting out what my rights are.

Think NKRF may do a booklet called 'What I tell my employer about kidney disease..' 0845 300 1499

Also see CAB site.. http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/nm/index/ ... oyment.htm


Good luck with it and let us know how meeting goes
