UKKA Patient Council

The UK Kidney Association (UKKA) patient council helps to connect the UKKA with people whose lives are directly affected by kidney disease.

The UKKA patient council's role includes:

• Getting involved in new programmes of work that aim to improve experiences and outcomes for patients
• Helping to produce new patient information – reports, leaflets and posters
• Supporting the UKKA on issues relating to information governance – how data is managed and used, and patient consent
• Discussing new research proposals and how patient data from kidney centres are used
• Contributing to the production of new clinical guidelines for kidney health professionals
• Encouraging discussion between patients and clinicians to promote patient involvement in kidney centres at local, regional and national levels
