Overall, it was a great conference. It’s the first one I have attended, and I had the best experience and gained so much knowledge and also made connections via networking.

UKKW was a great opportunity for me to gain a wider perspective. I have left with ideas that will help my personal progression and also that of the service I lead. Thank you!

The event is full of updates, evidence-based practices and new research which will have a good impact to everyone who attends the conference and with this, we can provide a first-class service to the NHS.

The session on best clinical abstracts was fantastic! It was inspiring to learn about peer research in various facets of Nephrology. Felt motivated to undertake clinical research studies.

The future of renal medicine is bright!

It was reassuring to know other units faced similar challenges and therefore make my job less stressful knowing others have the same issues and we can discuss these challenges.

I came back inspired and fired up to lean into the work more enthusiastically. I found the networking with other psychosocial practitioners very useful and validating. Also made me realise the value is in the connection with patients - and that is so important to outcomes. so that is where our focus should be to alleviate the distress of patients with the enormous treatment burden they carry.
