"Homeward bound: hospital to community, analogue to digital, illness to prevention"

Thursday 27th November 2025. 

This is a face to face day to be held at: The Nucleus, Chesterford Research Park, Little Chesterford, Saffron Walden, CB10 1TS.

Over the last 12months, the EoE Renal network has focussed on understanding the demand growth of CKD and RRT, dialysis capacity, dialysis occupancy measures and system flows.

In line with the governments 3 shifts, hospital to home, analogue to digital and illness to prevention, this year's network day will have a focus on these themes. We know CKD is on the increase and early identification in primary care continues to be a challenge; in-centre dialysis capacity continues to rise much faster than current capacity; home therapy has stalled and EoE region is only achieving 12% of the national ambition of 20% of patients receiving home based therapies; and assessment for eligibility for kidney transplantation needs to start early.
