Nephrology

The Nephrology SIG provides a forum for society members with a clinical or research interest in general nephrology, dialysis and renal transplantation to develop policies and strategies consistent with the vision and objectives of the PSNZ. The SIG acts as a source of expertise for PSNZ on issues regarding the above and provides a further level of support for the established national network of outreach clinics and teleconferences run via Starship. The SIG allows input in both directions to improve coordination of the above services and advocates for children and young people on all issues related to their kidney disease at local, regional and national level. The SIG provides a medium to supply educational updates to those involved in care of nephrology patients .
