BRS2017 Final Programme

Tackling
Inequalities
in Kidney Care

BRS

British Renal Society

Multi-professional working

Welcome from the BRS President 2017

Dear Colleagues

Welcome to Nottingham and the 2017 British Renal Society Conference. Our theme this
year is “Tackling Inequalities in Kidney Care” and we have an excellent keynote speaker,

Ruth Passman (NHS England Lead for Equality and Health Inequalities) to address this
important topic.

As usual, there will be multiple parallel sessions to ensure that we provide something
for everyone from the multiprofessional kidney team. The programme includes invited

lectures, debates, continuing professional development sessions and oral as well as
moderated poster presentations.

This year there will be four plenary sessions to give everyone the opportunity to hear our
excellent external invited speakers as well as showcase the BRS Named Lecture Awards
and the best abstract presentations. We have made a special effort to innovate to keep

the meeting dynamic and interesting.

As a new feature we have introduced innovative micro-education ‘pop up’ sessions in the
exhibition area, to provide focused MDT training through small group expert discussion.

Spaces are limited, so make sure you get there early to secure your seat.

On behalf of the BRS I would like to thank programme co-chairs Helen Hurst and James
Burton as well as the programme committee for the hard work that they have put into
developing this superb programme. I encourage you to make full use of the opportunities
on offer to update your knowledge, share best practice and network with colleagues.
Please be sure to provide feedback after the Conference to ensure that we continue to

improve the programme every year.

We have received excellent support from our industry partners and hope that you find
the exhibition interesting. Please visit the displays to learn about the latest products and

use the opportunity to interact directly with company representatives.

I wish you all an interesting, educational and enjoyable Conference.

Maarten Taal
BRS President
