Kidney doctor in the UK - home dialysis advocate - patient empowerment - doctors in training - end of life care and too much other stuff …
Our UK-wide survey found major variation in:
• Who inserts or removes lines
• Infection prevention practices
• Line dwell times & CRP thresholds
• Post-procedure protocols
It’s time we asked why something so fundamental to dialysis care remains so variable — and whether national guidance is overdue.

Sorry that I’m late to the chat - you did the right thing by observing for 24 hours - many would have removed the tube at presentation and exchange one piece of plastic for another - I’d agree with Graham - at least 3 weeks of IP treatment with anti fungal cover - get an AvF long term ..

#Nephrology has long been a leader in #multidisciplinary, patient-centered care—let’s lead in tackling #inequities within our profession too👊🏽

💡 What we can do as a specialty:
🔹 Recognize and address biases in recruitment, retention, and leadership
🔹 Support mentorship and sponsorship for underrepresented groups
🔹 Conduct nephrology-specific research on workplace equity and career progression

📢 Nephrology colleagues—this research is a wake-up call.

Biases in medicine affect career progression, leadership opportunities, and even patient care. Yet, nephrology remains underrepresented in research on gender, race, and ethnicity bias. Our study highlights the gaps—now we need action

Call to Action
🔬 The data is clear: bias in medicine is real and under-researched. We need:
📌 More research on race, ethnicity, and intersectionality
📌 Focus on interventions—not just problems
📌 Diverse leadership in medical research

The Bigger Picture
This research is just the beginning. The lack of studies on racial and ethnic bias and the absence of intervention research highlights a critical need for action. We call for a more inclusive and solution-focused research agenda in medicine! 🌍📢 #EquityInMedicine #AcademicResearch
