UK Kidney Association

Who we are

Improving lives by supporting professionals in the delivery of kidney care and research, the UK Kidney Association is the leading professional body for the UK kidney community. We welcome members working in clinical kidney care, treating and caring for people with kidney disease, and those working in research, or related sciences and fields.

The UK Renal Registry is the part of the UK Kidney Association responsible for the collection, analysis, management and development of a high quality clinical renal database. We use data submitted from the 71 adult and 13 paediatric renal centres across the country to create the database. The information, in the form of data and reports, is a shared resource used to develop research into kidney disease to improve the quality of care for renal patients.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The UKKA is committed to creating and sustaining a positive, inclusive and fair environment for our members and UKKA staff. We value equity and diversity and believe that our differences make us a stronger and more effective whole. We will advocate for these values for all who are working to improve outcomes for people with kidney disease. We prioritise individual freedoms within the law and we do not tolerate discrimination against, or harassment of, anyone.
