The management of end-stage renal failure and dialysis therapy now represents the biggest workload for most renal units. We are managing an ever-higher proportion of older patients, often with multiple co-morbidities. This 3-day course serves as a forum in which professionals and trainees in nephrology can gain a thorough grounding in the area of renal replacement therapy.
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.
Learning outcomes
The course will help you:
