Renal Dialysis Course 2022
22 – 24 June 2022
UCL Education Centre, 1-19 Torrington Place, London, WC1E 7HB.
The management of end-stage renal failure by dialysis forms a central component of all renal units. However, it is often the least intensively taught component of nephrology training. This 3-day course is a thorough introduction to dialysis, from basics to new developments. Our expert faculty will provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of dialysis and end stage renal failure.
The course is run by the UCL Department of Renal Medicine, Royal Free.
Who is this course for?
The course is aimed at specialist registrars in nephrology but will also be of interest to other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic renal failure.
