Putting kidney patients at the centre of European health policy

The European Kidney Patients’ Federation unites national organisations to make chronic kidney disease a political, clinical and social priority across Europe – so patients’ voices shape decisions that affect their lives.

Last news

The core of our objectives is to improve the quality of life of people living with kidney conditions

What we do

Advocacy

We represent kidney patients at European level, working with policymakers, regulators and partners to make chronic kidney disease a public health priority and ensure that patient voices shape laws, strategies and funding.

Education

We develop practical information, webinars and patient-friendly materials to improve understanding of kidney disease, its complications and treatment options, empowering patients, carers and the wider public to make informed decisions.

Events

We bring kidney patients, clinicians and decision-makers together through forums, summits, camps and webinars across Europe to share experiences, build capacity and drive concrete improvements in kidney care.

Research

We partner in European research and innovation projects, contributing patient evidence, surveys and policy recommendations so that new therapies, services and guidelines reflect real-life needs and improve quality of life.
