The UK Kidney Association (UKKA)

The UKKA is the leading professional body for the UK kidney community.
 
We welcome members working in clinical renal care, treating and caring for people with kidney disease, those working in research, or related sciences and fields, and all allied healthcare professionals.
 
For 72 years, the Renal Association, now the UK Kidney Association, has been energetic in promoting and sharing research to improve outcomes for people with kidney disease. We have taken a lead in the education of clinicians and scientists and more recently we’ve evolved to take a major role in training doctors and developing clinical services.
 
We are transforming how kidney care and research are delivered in the UK and beyond. The work we deliver and fund to support our members and renal patients is wide-ranging and includes:
  • UK Renal Registry
  • Rare Renal and the National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR)
  • Kidney Quality Improvement Partnership (KQuIP)
  • British Association for Paediatric Nephrology
  • UK Renal Pharmacy Group
  • UK Speciality Renal Trainees
  • Paediatric Nephrology Nurses Group
  • Physical Activity, Rehabilitation and Wellbeing Group
  • Renal Social Work Group
  • Association of Renal Technologists
  • Renal Nutrition Specialist Group
  • Renal Psychological Therapist Group
UK Kidney Week is the national, annual event for the professional UK kidney community, organised by the UKKA.
