May 2012
Event Title: Dialysis 2012
Date: 2-4 May 2012
Location: Sir William Wells Atrium, Royal Free Hospital, London
The management of end stage renal failure by dialysis forms a central component of all renal units. However, it is often the least intensively taught aspect of nephrology training. This in-depth course is a thorough introduction to dialysis, from basics to new developments. Expert faculty will provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of dialysis and ESRF through a mixture of informal lectures and workshops. Although the course is aimed at Specialist Registrars in nephrology, it will also be of interest to other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic renal failure.
