The latest UK Renal Registry report in 2025 shows that the uptake of home dialysis has increased, with continued progress in expanding home therapies, which account for around 15–20% of dialysis patients. A copy of the report is attached.

NHS England, renal networks, providers and patient organisations are working together to continue to increase access to home-based therapies.
