From a 2018 note on the history of the Hull dialysis unit:

Mike Pearson, Trust archivist, who works for the estates department, spent hours locating photographs and memorabilia outlining the history of the service up to the opening of the new dialysis unit in 2010.

The first unit opened in 1969 at Hull Royal Infirmary (Sutton), later to become Princess Royal Hospital. Services for kidney patients moved to Hull Royal in 1992 when former ward 17 was extended and refurbished to create a 12-bay unit. It was extended using additional office space and part of ward 18 to create a unit with 20 stations.

It was taken over by Fresenius Healthcare in 2008 and a new 40-station unit costing £11m was officially opened in 2010.
