About Us

The RPSG membership is truely a global support group phenomenon. Recent statistics inform that the RPSG has membership from the UK, USA, Egypt, India, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, and Australia and many far-wide countries. All members including patients, parents/ guardians, siblings, carers, relatives and friends have a ‘place’ to share real life experiences and supporting one another via a ‘closed’ and confidential Facebook group.

In addition, the RPSG has a BlogSpot that highlights activities in a journal style/ format; a RPSG ResearchGate page that highlights research/ publication accomplishments and a RPSG Instagram folio that highlights CKD through Art.

Over the past decade, the RPSG team have been involved in supporting patient and carer experiences through raising CKD awareness, data collection projects, engagement activities, presenting efforts, seminar/ conference activities, the dissemination of awareness and research through publications surrounding some of the most important subject entities on this long-term condition.
