The Kidney Alliancewas formed jointly by the
Renal Association and the National Kidney Federation in 1998 with the support
of the British Renal Symposium and several other bodies. The aim was to bring together patients'
voice and professionals committed to renal medicine, with a mission 'to promote high quality treatment for all
patients with kidney failure on an equal and uniform base throughout the
UK'. See the Kidney Alliance website
