We raise the political and public profile of kidney disease, champion prevention, and advocate for optimal kidney care across the UK. We develop current and future kidney leaders, influence national policy, and work with partners to ensure kidney health is embedded in long-term NHS planning and system reform.
We support kidney professionals to implement best practice through knowledge hubs, clinical guidelines, and quality improvement programmes. Our focus is on home therapies, pre-emptive transplantation, and advanced kidney care, helping services innovate, benchmark performance, and improve outcomes for patients.
We grow and support a diverse, multi-professional membership and deliver education shaped by members’ needs. We measure and model the kidney workforce, develop targeted curricula, and support underused medical talent, ensuring a skilled, sustainable workforce for modern kidney care.
We embed real-time clinical data, strengthen the UK Renal Registry, and build key data linkages to support earlier detection and prevention of kidney disease, service planning, and quality improvement. We enable research, identify priority questions, and translate discoveries into better therapies, education, and clinical practice.
