A division in theory and practice: the best basis for self-care?

The Home Haemodialysis Foundation (Stichting Thuisdialyse) was started in 1968 in conjunction with the University Hospital in Utrecht. Initially this centre was designed to stimulate home haemodialysis, but during the years the emphasis has changed and we now offer not only home haemodialysis, but also centre haemodialysis as well as forms of chronic peritoneal dialysis.
