Medical Chairs

Do you want to develop vital national renal leadership to protect kidney patients against COVID-19? We are looking for a clinical Chair for the newly created Infection Prevention and Control Committee (previously the COVID committee).

THE ROLE:

Co-Chairs (one clinical and one MPT) will support key priorities including working with all UK-wide renal units to provide information and data, therapeutic guidance, coordination and support around COVID-19. This Committee will continue to support patient charities and lobby and leverage statutory bodies to highlight the needs and care of kidney patients. It is anticipated that this will evolve to be reactive to new infections in the future.

Multi-Professional Team Chairs

Do you want to help develop high-quality patient information resources for use by kidney doctors, patients, families, and carers across the UK? We are looking for an MPT Chair to co-chair the Patient Information Committee.

THE ROLE:

Co-Chairs (one clinical and one MPT) will support the Committee in developing a data-driven approach to new topics and print requirements, obtaining Patient Information Forum (PIF TICK) accreditation, and developing new topics and alternative information formats. The work is carried out in partnership with Kidney Care UK, the UK’s leading kidney patient support charity.

It is anticipated that post holders will remain in place for three years, starting in Autumn 2022.

To apply please send a brief expression of interest statement (max 100 words) to Melanie Dillon, Patient Information Coordinator.

We are refreshing the UKKA Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee. It is essential that there is a committee fit for purpose to ensure that our house is in order; the scope of this committee will focus on the UKKA as an organisation and the work it is directly involved in.

Want to join the Committee or have some thoughts on how we can improve equality, diversity and inclusion across the UK Kidney Association?

Join our informal meeting on 8th of November and discuss:

  • What is involved in the Committee?
  • Areas of focus
  • Areas to improve

The EDI Committee will be supported by one of the UKKA Presidents and the UKKA’s HR Manager, Secretariat and Communications Lead.

We are finalising a leadership training programme to support established and emerging leaders that will launch soon and take place in early 2023 and will be available to members.
