We recently delivered the My New Kidney interactive books to @GreatOrmondSt , where they will be given to children to help them understand their kidney treatment journey. We are delighted to support our researcher Dr Rukshana Shroff and her team - we hope the children like them!

In 2007-8, the waiting list for a kidney transplant was 6,980. By 2016-17 this had fallen to 5,233 (NHSBT). Great work has been done, but there's so much more to do. Come and join #TEAMKIDNEY this year and let's work together towards lives free from kidney disease.
