Welcome to Guy’s and St Thomas’ for Kings Health Partners Renal Medicine specialty training programme.
The Renal Medicine training programme in South London will prepare trainees for a career in Renal Medicine and also support their development in a number of other areas. Our programme is underpinned by effective clinical and educational supervision and effective communication between clinical and educational supervisors which helps to promote a culture of prompt identification of trainees’ learning needs.
The programme has been mapped to the learning opportunities within each of the placements on our programme to the curriculum and uses the exercise to further refine our rotations.
Modules will be tailored to the trainee’s experience, seniority and interests – for example an ST3 at GSTT following the Transplantation Tissue Typing module may perform a retrospective analysis of the outcomes of ABO incompatible renal transplantation stratifying for immune sensitisation.
All areas of both the Renal Medicine and GIM curricula will be covered with clinical placements and regional training days. There will be opportunities for additional training with the Renal Enhanced Modular Scheme (REMS) run across all four renal units. Modules will include Transplantation (Immunobiology, Infectious diseases and Tissue Typing), Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), Peritoneal Dialysis (PD), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)/Advanced Kidney Care, Vasculitis, Lupus and Haemodialysis.
