Our Staff
The UK Kidney Association and UK Renal Registry are supported by a team of more than 60 staff working across a wide range of specialist roles. Together, they develop and maintain national kidney data systems, analyse and report kidney data, support research, quality improvement and audit, deliver national conferences and educational programmes, support committees and professional communities, manage membership services, and keep the organisation running day to day.
This page introduces our senior management team and team leads who support the UK’s kidney community and deliver the programmes, services and national data that underpin our work.
