UKKA to stop posting on X

Date: February 5th, 2026

The UK Kidney Association is to stop posting on X

Following a review by our Trustees, and after feedback from across our membership, the UK Kidney Association has decided that continuing to use X (formerly Twitter) no longer aligns with our values as an organisation.

This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. Over recent years, X has undergone significant changes in leadership, policies and platform dynamics that have raised serious concerns about safety, content moderation and the broader environment for constructive public discourse.

As a professional membership organisation supporting the kidney community, we have a responsibility to choose communication channels that reflect our values and the standards we set for ourselves. We believe that our community deserves spaces where professional discussion and information-sharing can take place in a responsible and respectful way.

You can continue to hear from the UK Kidney Association and access our latest news, events and resources via our other channels:

LinkedIn
BlueSky
Instagram
Facebook
YouTube

You can visit our website for the most up-to-date information about our work or join the UKKA as a member to receive our e-newsletters and direct updates.

We thank our community for their continued support.

Regards,

Ron Cullen
UKKA CEO
