UK Kidney Week 2026 will now take place from 10-12 March 2026 at the Harrogate Convention Centre. This shift from our usual June timing avoids a clash with the European Renal Association (ERA) Congress scheduled for 3-6 June 2026 in Glasgow.

Ahead of this, the UKKA explored the possibility of a joint meeting with the ERA. While such an event could have brought clear benefits for the UK kidney community, no agreement was reached that safeguarded the financial sustainability of UK Kidney Week and upheld our commitment to multiprofessional team (MPT) education. By rescheduling to March, UK Kidney Week 2026 remains financially viable, independent, and fully aligned with the Association’s mission to support MPT education and collaboration across the kidney community.

Although a joint meeting was not possible on this occasion, UKKW 2026 offers an exciting opportunity to deliver a programme with a uniquely UK focus - rooted in our healthcare system and designed to strengthen connections across the UK kidney community. We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a vibrant and engaging meeting.
