The books are tailored to support children with kidney disease and prepare them for kidney transplants in a playful and interactive way.
A 100 copies of 'My New Kidney’, created by Get Better Books and funded by Kidney Research UK and the James Weir Foundation, have been dropped off at Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children in the city's Southside.
The books have also been made bespoke to the patients and the hospital they attend, with this batch including a map of Glasgow to show children a route home from their operation. Dr Ben Reynolds, consultant paediatric nephrologist at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde added:"When you sit down with a child and explain the complex and unfamiliar process of having a transplant, it can be really difficult not to create some level of anxiety within them and their parents.
