NKF Patient event - Dr Rosenberg - Dialysis Decision Making in Advanced CKD

Dr Kerry Rosenberg "I am a renal registrar, currently working at the Royal Free Hospital. My research interests are in kidney treatment decision making, supportive care and health inequalities and access to care. I live in South East London with my husband and Boston Terrier, Beans, and I am a keen runner in my spare time.”
During Dr Kerry Rosenberg's allocated speaking time she covered the following:
The diversity of the renal population in the UK - figures from the UKRR Annual Report 2019.
The importance and complexity of choosing a treatment pathway in advanced kidney disease - including the added challenges of helping an older and more frail person to choose the right treatment for them.
The existing evidence looking at dialysis decision making in BAME populations - this is minimal, and largely focused on palliative care/advanced care planning decisions rather than dialysis.
Some results and insights from her local project at the Royal Free - currently in progress.
A brief outline of the larger project that she hopes to pursue as a PhD
