Membership Benefits

Network and learn with colleagues across the UK, from all professions involved in kidney care.

Our members contribute to the kidney community by being part of our Committees and Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

Our Committees

• Members help shape the direction and work of the UKKA through participation in our committees; contributing their expertise and experience to support, develop and influence kidney care.
• Our Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee oversee guideline work across the UKKA.
• Our International Committee brings professionals together by organising regular Case Study Calls. In the most recent call, colleagues in Ukraine spoke about the enormous challenges in caring for their patients.
• Our newly formed Ethics and Law Committee are preparing to survey members to find out what is needed to support in this area.

Our Special Interest Groups

• Members connect and collaborate through our SIGs, helping to advance knowledge, education and best practice in specific areas of kidney care and service delivery.
• Our AKI SIG held a national face-to-face summit where discussion formed the basis of the AKI Report. “Transforming AKI Care: National Recommendations”.
• Our Supportive Care SIG has highlighted the lack of guidelines to support patients managing their symptoms – the first symptom management guideline is being worked on by the group.
