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.
