Dialysis Technician

Dialysis is the process of passing blood through a series of filters in order to remove waste products, using a dialysis machine. The dialysis technician is trained to operate this machine, and is responsible for performing dialysis according to the directions of a doctor, cleaning the machine and changing filters, monitoring the patient during dialysis and recognising faults and warning signs. The technician works in the dialysis ward of a hospital, or performs dialysis of patients who cannot be moved on their ward, using a mobile dialysis unit. Some technicians are involved in patient education and may work in community care for kidney patients at home.
