About Dial A Dialysis

Dial A Dialysis is a growing dialysis care provider committed to delivering safe, accessible and patient-centred renal replacement therapy. We operate modern haemodialysis services built around clinical quality, affordability and continuity of care for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

As our network expands, we are inviting a qualified Nephrologist to join us — not merely as a visiting consultant, but as a genuine partner in the growth, governance and clinical direction of the practice.

Position Overview

This is a dual-capacity appointment. The successful candidate will serve as the lead Nephrologist for Dial A Dialysis, providing specialist nephrology care to our dialysis and CKD patient population, while simultaneously joining the venture as a Partner on a profit-sharing basis. In that capacity, the Nephrologist will share in the financial success of the centre and contribute directly to its clinical strategy, service development and standing within the community.

The role will suit a nephrologist seeking the autonomy and rewards of practice ownership without bearing the full capital burden of establishing an independent centre — clinical excellence combined with genuine entrepreneurial opportunity.

- Engagement Type: Clinical practice combined with equity-style partnership / profit sharing

- Location: Dial A Dialysis centre(s); multi-centre responsibilities as the network grows

- Work Model: Full-time preferred; structured part-time arrangements considered for the right candidate

- Reporting To: Managing Director / Board of Dial A Dialysis

- Experience: Minimum three years of independent post-specialisation practice in nephrology

Clinical Responsibilities

As the lead Nephrologist, you will:

● Provide comprehensive nephrology care for patients on maintenance haemodialysis, including initiation, prescription, monitoring and optimisation of dialysis therapy.

● Conduct regular patient rounds at the dialysis centre(s), review treatment adequacy (Kt/V, fluid status) and adjust dialysis prescriptions accordingly.

● Manage CKD patients across stages 1–5, including pre-dialysis education, renal replacement therapy counselling and conservative care where appropriate.

● Oversee vascular access planning in coordination with surgeons and interventionalists, and manage access-related complications.

● Manage dialysis-related and CKD-related complications, including anaemia, mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), hypertension, electrolyte disturbances, infections and cardiovascular risk.

● Establish, document and continuously improve clinical protocols, infection-control practices, water-quality standards and patient-safety systems in line with applicable national guidelines and regulatory requirements.

● Supervise,



train and mentor dialysis nurses, technicians and allied staff, and conduct periodic clinical audits and morbidity and mortality reviews.

● Provide on-call or emergency consultation support for dialysis-related emergencies in accordance with a mutually agreed roster.

● Support transplant work-up, peri-transplant care coordination and post-transplant follow-up in collaboration with transplant centres.

● Maintain accurate, timely and confidential medical records, and ensure statutory and medico-legal compliance.

Partnership & Business Responsibilities

As a Partner in the profit-sharing arrangement, you will:

● Act as the clinical face of Dial A Dialysis, building referral relationships with physicians, hospitals and the local medical community to grow the patient base ethically.

● Contribute to strategic planning, including centre expansion, new service lines (for example, home haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis programmes and CKD clinics) and quality accreditation.

● Participate in periodic business and clinical governance reviews, covering centre performance, patient outcomes and growth metrics.

● Help recruit, evaluate and retain clinical talent, and uphold a culture of ethical, evidence-based, patient-first care.

● Support community outreach, patient-education programmes and awareness initiatives that strengthen the Dial A Dialysis brand.

● Adhere to the partnership agreement, including its confidentiality, non-solicitation, exclusivity and dispute-resolution provisions.

Compensation & Partnership Structure

The engagement combines clinical remuneration with a genuine share in the venture's success. The indicative structure is set out below; final terms will be mutually agreed and documented in a formal partnership agreement.

● Clinical remuneration: a guaranteed professional fee or retainer for nephrology services (per-session, per-patient or fixed monthly), negotiable according to time commitment.

● Profit share: an agreed percentage of the centre's net profit, calculated on transparent, audited accounts and paid on a quarterly or annual cycle.

● Equity pathway: for a long-term partner, a defined route to equity participation in Dial A Dialysis may be offered, subject to performance milestones and tenure.

● No mandatory capital investment: a voluntary co-investment option, with proportionate equity,



may be discussed with candidates seeking deeper ownership.

● Additional benefits: professional indemnity support, a continuing medical education (CME) allowance, conference support and statutory benefits as applicable.

Qualifications & Requirements

● A recognised postgraduate qualification in Nephrology (DM / DNB Nephrology, or an equivalent recognised fellowship or specialty certification).

● Valid medical registration with the applicable medical council or regulatory authority, including specialist registration in Nephrology.

● A minimum of three years of independent nephrology practice, including hands-on management of a haemodialysis unit.

● Sound knowledge of dialysis unit operations, water-treatment standards and infection-control protocols.

● Demonstrable ethical standing, professional integrity and a clean medico-legal record.

● Strong communication, leadership and relationship-building skills; an entrepreneurial mindset and an interest in building a practice are essential to the partnership dimension of this role.

● A willingness to commit to a medium-to-long-term association (typically three years or more), consistent with the spirit of a partnership.

What We Offer

● The opportunity to build and lead the nephrology practice of a growing dialysis brand, with genuine profit participation.

● A well-equipped dialysis facility with trained support staff and established operational systems.

● Professional autonomy in clinical decision-making within agreed quality and safety frameworks.

● Transparent governance, clearly defined decision rights and a formal partnership agreement protecting both parties.

● A platform for long-term professional and financial growth, including potential equity ownership.

Terms & Conditions of the Partnership

● The engagement will be governed by a written Partnership / Profit-Sharing Agreement covering the profit-share percentage, accounting and audit rights, roles and decision rights, exclusivity, notice period, exit and buy-out provisions, and dispute resolution.

● Clinical duties, session schedules and on-call commitments will be defined in a separate clinical services schedule annexed to the agreement.

● Either party may exit the arrangement subject to the notice and handover provisions of the agreement, always ensuring continuity of patient care.
