Chronic Kidney Disease

Our research in chronic kidney disease covers a range of aspects of living with this long term condition, from cultural barriers to age-related factors to bringing together communities to understanding how kidney disease impacts those supporting patients (carers). We apply mixed methods with patients and carers integral to the research.
