Please note: HCP's predominantly working in kidney care would be expected to hold a current UKKA membership.

NEW Percutaneous POCUS Native Kidney Biopsy guideline - Expressions of interest sought

Expressions of interest are sought for the development of a new guideline on Percutaneous POCUS Native Kidney Biopsy.  The landmark IGNITE study has highlighted critical gaps in current practice standards for native kidney biopsy procedures. In response to this evidence, the kidney community have identified a need for standardised, evidence-based guidelines to optimise patient safety and procedural outcomes. To apply, please send a short statement of no more than one side of A4 explaining why you would like to be involved, plus a completed conflict of interest form to ukka@ukkidney.org by 11th December. Please also indicate if you would be interested in a chairing role.
