This website has been created by staff at the Renal Unit of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. You can read more about the Edinburgh renal unit on our sister website, Edren, or on the Renal Association's Edinburgh page. Both Edren and Edrep make resources freely available, whether you are working in Edinburgh or on the other side of the world (see terms below). Sometimes we link to non-free resources if there isn't an alternative. If you are studying a course you will certainly need some books too, as well as practical experience and supervision.

Technical

Powered by Website Baker, a powerful but relatively simple open-source content management system (CMS). The design is modified from an original by Andreas Viklund.  We use the chCounter to see which pages get the most attention, and you can see our viewing stats here (click on Pages at the top). 

Credits

Work to initiate this website was aided by seedcorn funding from NHS Education Scotland (NES) and the Scottish Renal Association (SRA). But it is written in the generously donated time of our staff.  It isn't an official publication of the NHS, or of the University of Edinburgh. 

General cautions

This is an educational website; we are fallible; and unfortunately we cannot provide advice on management of individual patients.  Please read our fuller caution here.
