The Cardiorenal Forum 19th Annual Scientific Meeting
'Advances in research, treatment and prevention of heart and kidney diseases'
Took place on Friday 4th October 2024
The meeting promoted and shared academic and clinical interest across the cardiorenal multidisciplinary team. The focus of this year’s meeting was to share the latest advances in research, treatment and prevention of heart and kidney diseases. Take a look now at the expert faculty and programme lined up.

The Cardiorenal Forum (CRF) is an independent group formed in 2006 by Paul and Phil Kalra and Henry Purcell. The key objective of the group is to highlight the important clinical overlap that exists between patients presenting with a primary cardiovascular or renal problem. Our annual scientific meeting is our main event to bring together all involved in the management of such patients to share ideas and learn more about how to deliver high quality care. We also hold practical digital activities to focus on challenging aspects of managing cardiorenal patients.
