Renal Medicine
Kidn-e is an interactive learning resource aimed at doctors, specialty trainees, nephrologists, and other healthcare professionals looking to expand their knowledge in renal medicine.
A comprehensive course for doctors and kidney specialists globally
The learning content focuses on the two most common kidney conditions – acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with these conditions are seen by clinical staff in a range of specialties. So, this programme is an invaluable and versatile learning resource for all practitioners working in medical, surgical or general practice areas.
On this programme, you can explore the causes, possible complications, treatment and management of AKI and CKD. Interactive features, such as videos, animations and self-assessment exercises, help you to build your learning and understanding on key themes.
Kidn-e offers excellent preparation for lectures and practical work – ensuring the best learning outcomes.
The renal medicine (Kidn-e) online elearning programme consists of two modules that are divided up into smaller elearning sessions. Each session typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH).
The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes. They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies. They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS. However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
