Guy's Hospital Kidney Transplantation Course

We are excited to invite you to our kidney transplantation update course at Guy’s Hospital on the 5 and 6 December 2019.

This two-day course is designed for consultants and trainee nephrologists, but would be useful for other health care professionals in the field of kidney transplantation.

During the course, you will get an update on all aspects of kidney transplantation delivered by expert clinicians in the field. You will be exposed to difficult cases, and have the opportunity to take part in discussions.
