NKF Annual Patients' Event 2024

We cordially invite you to be a part of our 2024 Annual Patients’ Event. Join us as we come together to learn, and support each other in our journey surrounding kidney health.

Since 1980, the National Kidney Federation has been hosting an annual event that has become a cornerstone for kidney patients and carers alike. We are now gearing up for an even bigger and better event in 2024 and are delighted to announce that we'll be hosting the event once again at the Radisson Blu Hotel, East Midlands Airport.
