A @kidneycareUK @kidney_research research study for UK young adults with #kidney#transplant or #dialysis. Part of @ukrenalregistry & @bristoluni #speakstudy
We know that poor mental health impacts mental wellbeing, medication adherence and employment. Our findings highlight the need for mental health screening, prevention and support for young adults with kidney failure as they get older.
Kidney disease is hard for mental health as well as physical health. Following the 2022 launch of our psychosocial manifesto, catch up with what we've been doing this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek & what we're asking for https://t.co/n8VnjvrPHG
Super excited to present some initial findings of the #speak2 study at @UKKWVirtual on 7th October in the 'Paediatrics, transitional and young adult care' session!
@Louise06569387 Hi Lou. Thanks for getting in touch! The SPEAK-2 study is currently live although we are only surveying people who participated in the original SPEAK Study.
@evelina_vips@YAKidneyGroup Thanks! For #SPEAK2 we're only asking young adults who participated in the original SPEAK study to be involved. We're sending everybody we can a direct invite by email and post!
@YAKidneyGroup The #YAKGVirtual schedule looks great, especially looking forward to sharing some @SPEAKstudy data on diversity in CKD among young adults on Sunday.
@Louise06569387 Hi Louise thanks for getting in touch and sorry for taking a few days to get back to you. On the main survey there is an option on the top right of the page which says "returning". Click that and you can put in our code. I'll DM you the survey link.
The responses for SPEAK-2 are coming in thick and fast! In the mean time, here's a reminder of the findings of the original SPEAK study https://t.co/E5ILlnD8oC
Delighted to have just clicked send for the email invitations to #youngadults to participate in the #SPEAK2 study. Postal invitations will also be sent out but please spread the word! Would be amazing to get as many responses as possible.
We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our founder, Mrs Elizabeth Ward OBE, who died at the age of 93 on Monday 20 July. She dedicated her life to improving the quality of life for kidney patients: https://t.co/kqMI9fJW5W
