Overview

Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology (IN) forms the core of a unified care service for patients with kidney disease. It is vital in providing rapid diagnoses and treatment for patients presenting to renal units.

Diagnostic and interventional procedures are often undertaken exclusively by radiologists, vascular surgeons, or transplant surgeons in the UK. This can lead to fragmented service provision and prolonged procedural waiting times for patients.

You will experience training in all aspects of Interventional Nephrology focused training, including:

ultrasound

haemodialysis access management

renal biopsy

peritoneal dialysis access management

Career opportunities

The Interventional Nephrology course from Newcastle University prepares you for a career as an interventional nephrologist. It also helps those pursuing other specialities such as acute medicine, Intensive Care Medicine and Accident and Emergency an opportunity to hone their practical skills.
