is a relaunch of what was previously Jim's Kidney Information Page.

Jim's Kidney Information Page was designed to provide information to Kidney Patients but especially those, who like me have searched the web for UK based information and found very little UK based information.

In 1999, I decided to reorganise my kidney information pages, and give them a new look and name; Renal UK.

WHAT? RenalUK exists to provide information, support, and an online presence for individuals in the UK who are in any way affected by Kidney Failure or a related problem.

WHO? RenalUK has been setup and run by Jim Warham!

HOW? RenalUK has been created using Apple Computers namely a PowerBook 1400 and a Macintosh Classic. Various software was also used. See below for more information.

WHERE? RenalUK is run mainly from Jim Warhams home in Crouch End,North London. Click here to see a Map of Crouch End

Joining the RenalUK Webring, is a good way of linking to us and creating more traffic for your site!

We are happy to be associated with Claire's Living Related Transplant Site, and invite you to visit her page!

Hosting: RenalUK was initially going to be hosted by Freeservers, however they do not allow membership of banner or associate programs, so the main part of RenalUK has been transferred to Netfirms.

If you are still learning about the internet, and are confused by technical terms, and still learning how to do things I would suggest you refer to www.webnovice.com for an easy guide to the net!

This site has been made possible by the following:

• Freeservers http://www.freeservers.com/ for the provision of initial space and the renaluk.netfirms.com home address.
