Renal in the spotlight

These resources were showcased at the British Renal Society Annual Conference in Birmingham between the 1st and the 3rd of June. Healthcare staff interested in finding out more can now log onto a brand new section of the healthcare workforce portal to access examples of best practice, sample job descriptions, case studies, plus supporting documentation and links.
