Due to the location of our unit in an important tourist destination, there are many patients who ask us for treatment. Nursing staff face challenges in addition to the clinical nature of the patient, such as language, the different therapeutic handling of patients in dialysis in other countries and the lack of nursing registers to help us develop care plans to guarantee continuity in the therapeutic plain. The aim of the study is to characterise the type of outpatients who received treatment in our haemodialysis unit from May to October in the years 2001 and 2002. An observational, descriptive and retrospective study was made of a total sample of 17 patients. One of our own registers was used in the data collection, divided into three sections: personal data, dialysis tendency and intradialysis complications. One element that is necessary to guarantee the continuity of the nursing care is the outpatients register, which must accompany each person when they travel to other dialysis units.
