We had a fantastic turnout and great engagement at our renal study day today. Facilitated by the renal team with contributions from the most important members of our MDT - our patients. Paul, Miles and David provided an invaluable insight into the patient impact of CKD.

We covered the fundamentals of all the services provided from the renal unit and considerations for CKD and ESKD during periods of hospitalisation. #knowyournumbers #everyMlmatters
