🔥Dragon’s Den: Pitch Your Big Idea at UKKW 2026!🔥

Date: November 27th, 2025

The UK Renal Registry has been collecting rich, high-quality data on kidney disease across the UK for 30 years – and now it’s your turn to turn that data into impact.

Do you have an idea for a collaboration that could unlock new insights, improve care, or shine a light on under-explored areas of kidney disease?

Bring your concept to our Dragon’s Den–style session at UK Kidney Week for a chance to:

✨ Work with UKRR experts
✨ Analyse real-world national datasets
✨ Present your findings at national/international conferences
✨ Publish your work
✨ Drive meaningful improvements in patient care

Searching for an idea and wondering what’s feasible? – explore the datasets and data completeness.

Ready to pitch?

Deadline: 5pm, Friday 19 December 2026.
