Kidney Supportive Care 2026 Meeting

The 22nd Kidney Supportive Care Meeting runs on 17-18 November 2026 at The Studio in Manchester. It is designed for the kidney multidisciplinary team and focuses on supportive and conservative kidney care for people with advanced kidney disease. The programme mixes evidence updates, international service comparisons, patient experience, case-based small groups, an interactive interpretation of the Prepare for Kidney Care randomised trial, a multidisciplinary panel and two blocks of parallel sessions. Topics include variation in local services, European supportive-care models, frailty, conservative kidney management in Japan and Canada, dialysis discontinuation, predictable problems, national data collection in Scotland and preparing renal services for future population need. Day one finishes with dedicated networking.

The public faculty page names Dr Barnaby Hole, Dr Claire Douglas, Dr Emma Murphy and Professor Fliss Murtagh. Their experience spans nephrology, palliative medicine, clinical academic nursing, decision support, conservative kidney management and integrated kidney-palliative services. Registration is open. Early-bird full-meeting rates are £220 for nurses, AHPs and charity delegates, £330 for researchers and trainee doctors, and £440 for doctors. Standard rates are £350, £460 and £570 respectively. The fee includes all scientific sessions, course materials, daily refreshment breaks and a light lunch. No early-bird cutoff or general registration closing date is publicly stated.
