Optimising patient health ahead of kidney transplant surgery
People with chronic kidney disease often struggle to maintain an active lifestyle, particularly while on dialysis or awaiting a transplant - impacting both physical and mental health.
Maintaining physical fitness and overall health increases the chances of a successful transplant, with quicker recovery time and a better quality of life post-surgery.
Our prehabilitation programmes - backed by Kidney Research UK and hosted on our clinically-proven digital health platform - contain exercise and education classes tailored specially for the needs of people preparing to receive their new kidney, alongside support for psychological and nutritional wellbeing.

Anthony - Patient
“Being able to freely access Beam has enabled me to extend my exercise routine by participating in a range of on-demand classes. I feel this has greatly improved my ability to exercise different muscle groups and has led to me feeling a much improved overall level of fitness. Some days it can be challenge to summon the enthusiasm to do a class, but the way Beam works always leaves you feeling glad that you did and keeps you coming back for more”

“We know that keeping active makes us feel good, but when you’re living with a long term condition, it’s not always easy. Beam gives people the chance to take control of physical and mental wellbeing, at their own pace, with guidance (if needed) from people who understand the complexities”
