KPA Day (Virtual Event)

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2021 KPA Day.

This year's event was entirely virtual and took place via Zoom on Saturday 27^th March 2021.

We were delighted to have two excellent speakers at the event:

Paul Cockwell, consultant nephrologist at University Hospitals Birmingham, who spoke about the impact Covid-19 has had on the dialysis world.
Rommel Ravanan, chair of the NHSBT Kidney Advisory Group, who spoke about the impact Covid-19 has had on kidney donation and transplantation and he also provided an update on the new strategy for organ donation and transplantation.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and participated, in particular our speakers. We hope you enjoyed the event and we look forward to next year's KPA Day.
