The course features lectures and case discussions from international physiology and nephrology experts to ground participants in the pathophysiology and clinical management of electrolyte and acid-base disorders, hypertension and fluid management.
Who is this course for?
It is intended for both clinicians and scientists - trainees in nephrology, general (internal) medicine and intensive care medicine, consultant nephrologists and general physicians, and those working in veterinary medicine and non-clinical grades.

Dialysis
Date of next course: 26th, 27th and 28th June 2024
This is a comprehensive 3-day course on dialysis and the management of patients with end stage renal failure. The course will be held in-person at Friends House, a conference venue in Bloomsbury, London close to Euston and Kings Cross stations.
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 provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of dialysis and end stage renal failure.
Who is this course for?
The course is aimed at Specialist Registrars in nephrology, but is also of interest to other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic renal failure.
