ABOUT THE CLINIC
Our experienced clinic team welcomes you to Diaverum Avon. Avon is a town 65 kilometers south from Paris. It is the ideal starting point to visit the capital of France without suffering from the disadvantages of a stay in the big city.
In our clinic we offer excellent medical service as well as a warm and friendly atmosphere to revitalize our patients both physically and emotionally.
Diaverum Avon was inaugurated in 1986 and features 16 dialysis reclining chairs. All stations are equipped with TV screens and free Wi-Fi. As an integral part of our services we offer a patient education program as well as support by a social assistant, dieticians and psychologists. Cultivating a family atmosphere we celebrate several events together in our clinic.
Around Avon
Paris and Fontainebleau palace
Paris, the city of love! Only a few cities in the world can compete with the charm of this city on the Seine. Nevertheless, the capital of France is not only for lovers worth visiting. For a day trip is best if you chose one or a small number of sights to visit. The Eiffel Tower of course offers a magnificent view above the city and is close to other sighs like the Louvre. The famous museum shows many well-known art collections including of course the Mona Lisa. But also Sacré-Cœur, Notre-Dame and Versailles palace are very popular destinations.
Still, it does not need to be Versailles palace. As worth seeing as the famous Versailles is Fontainebleau Palace which is situated next to Avon. It is famous for its interior construction from the Renaissance. Even Napolean Bonaparte lived here for some time. Today it is UNESCO Worldheritage and open for visitors.

Useful Information
Bring what you need for your care and comfort.
Please do not cover your access with clothing or blankets during your treatment. It is important for us to be able to reach your dialysis access (fistula, graft or line) easily, so if you have a fistula in your arm, we suggest that you wear clothes with loose fitting sleeves.
We do recommend that you bring a mobile device or something to help pass the time. Dialysis can make you more susceptible to feeling cold, so you might want to wear warm clothes. Many people prefer to bring a small blanket to feel more comfortable.
Most patients pass the time during dialysis in activities such as reading, writing, sleeping, knitting, listening to music, watching TV or just chatting. All our dialysis centres have televisions, free Wi-Fi for use with a mobile device, and please ask the staff for details. Please bring headphones so that you do not disturb other patients.
It is as important for dialysis patients to take a holiday as it is for anyone else, and provided you give enough notice and are flexible enough, there is no reason why you should not be able to do this. Arrangements for you to have haemodialysis at another unit may be made within this country or abroad. Please talk to your Consultant or Nurse at least two months before you plan to travel and before making any plans. This is so we can make sure that you are fit enough to travel as well as to give us enough time to help you arrange your holiday dialysis. COVID-19 restrictions and the Foreign Office guidance apply.
