Title: NKF conference report and videos
Post by: JW77 on October 28, 2014, 03:52:55 PM
For anyone interested in the National Kidney Federation's conference that took place earlier this month in Blackpool, here are the links the presentations:

Blackpool is a fantastic venue, being on the coast, with the famous Blackpool illuminations all along the promenade.

2014's Theme was Taking Control..  something a lot of patients are encourage to do, despite it seeming like a never ending struggle.

Breakthroughs in transplantation, a large debate on hospital transport, and possibly the highlight, live cookery demonstrations by TV Chef Lawrence Keogh (also a transplantee and top UK chef).
I missed the afternoon sessions (small equipment crisis with my partners wheelchair) but will have to catch up with them online.

Do have a look, and enjoy:)

Blackpool is a seaside town on the North East side of England:)


Its famous as a tourist resort during the summer and later in the year for the Blackpool Illuminations, a show of lights that stretch the length of the main promenade.
