In his NHS practice Professor Woywodt sees patients with a variety of kidney problems but has a special interest in kidney transplantation and leads the transplant recipient assessment at his NHS hospital base.

In his private practice at BMI Lancaster, he sees patients from Lancashire, Cumbria and the wider regio i.e. the North West of England. He sees patients who have chronic kidney disease or who have difficult to control blood pressure or proteinuria/ haematuria (protein/blood in the urine).

He also holds satellite clinics in Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness. He has served as Associate Dean for Year 3 Undergraduate Medical Students on the Manchester University MbChB degree from 2011 to 2020.
