The #YAKGVirtual schedule looks great, especially looking forward to sharing some @SPEAKstudy data on diversity in CKD among young adults on Sunday.
We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our founder, Mrs Elizabeth Ward OBE, who died at the age of 93 on Monday 20 July. She dedicated her life to improving the quality of life for kidney patients: kidneycareuk.org/news-and-ca…

Absolutely delighted to say we have been funded by the Bristol Health Research Charity to carry out a @SPEAKstudy 5 year follow up! bhrcharity.org @mo_altalib Looking for patients to help codesign the study @YAKidneyGroup @BRSYoungAdults 👍🏻
Excited to be working with @mo_altalib to undertake secondary analyses and (subject to funding) a 5-year follow up of @SPEAKstudy... How does psychosocial health change over the life course in young adults with kidney disease?

@SPEAKstudy highlighted the challenges of living with CKD. @YAExpDm we are interested to understand how #dialysis/ #transplant choice selection affects #youngadults psychosocial and mental well-being. We love to hear from @YAKidneyGroup. Email me at [email protected]

This sounds like an amazing next step! Quite a few of us (initial participants) are now over 30, and facing some of the same issues, but also a whole host of different ones... – at Manchester, England

Its too late to now decide that our mental health should also be considered when being treated with Dialysis!! It also doesnt help that your postcode determines how well you are cared for!!!!
