NKF Annual Patients' Conference 2002, Dialysis and beyond - the Patients' View

More than 400 people attended the conference whose theme was Dialysis and Beyond ... The Patients' View. For the first time patients had been asked to give their views on what the speakers said.

Chairman, Gordon Nicholas, welcomed the delegates and asked for a short silence for kidney patients who were no longer with us and also for the victims of the Bali disaster.
