A great day at our Annual Conference. Was brilliant to have most of our fellows from all cohorts including our newest cohort 4. Thank you to our Directors and Supervisors for attending 🌟
A common tool used by clinicians for predicting kidney failure could be underestimating the risk of failure for people with frailty.

Co-chaired by Dr. Alberto Ortiz and Dr. Kathy Tuttle, the conference brought together global experts and patient advocates to reframe how kidney disease is addressed, prioritizing prevention, early detection, and long-term kidney health across the lifespan.
“CKD affects over 800 million people worldwide and is one of the major unsolved challenges in global health,” said Dr. Ortiz. “We need structural changes that support proactive primary prevention in addition to earlier diagnosis and treatment—especially in low- and middle-income countries.”
“The data now show that kidney disease is not inevitable. In many cases, it can be delayed—or even prevented—if we intervene early," said Dr Tuttle. "We need to treat CKD prevention as a public health priority, like we’ve done for heart disease and diabetes. That means integrating kidney health into the entire continuum of chronic disease prevention and empowering both clinicians and patients through education and awareness.”

Multimorbidity is significantly linked to accelerated kidney function decline in older adults, with a dose–response relationship observed with the number of chronic conditions. #geriatrics https://t.co/fbVEbehGoM
Today we've launched a new requirement that all applicants must demonstrate how their research will address existing inequalities in health and social care as a condition of funding. Applicants will now be required to show how inclusion is being built into all stages of the research lifecycle. https://t.co/765hxygjRD
