For suitable patients, renal transplantation is considered the optimal modality of renal replacement therapy, with availability of donor organs limiting the number of transplants undertaken. The 2006 kidney allocation policy was developed to ensure equity of allocation to patients on the transplant waiting list, whilst still achieving a good donor/recipient match. This study aims to describe the characteristics of the kidney transplant waiting list and variations in median waiting times.
