Renal Physiology 2013 (10-12 April 2013)

A course and update for the clinician and scientist

Dialysis 2013 (19-21 June 2013)

A comprehensive course on dialysis and the management of patients with end stage renal failure.

Sir William Wells Atrium, Royal Free Hospital, London NW3 2QG

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 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 ESRF through a mixture of informal lectures and workshops.  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.
