The Renal Unit runs outpatients each week, seeing various types of glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal failure and children with kidney transplants. There is a consultation service to Mater Mothers' Hospital for acute neonatal problems and abnormal antenatal ultrasounds. One outpatient clinic is run at The Princess Alexandra Hospital and includes adolescent and adult patients.

Role of Junior Staff in the Unit

The junior staff are expected to assess all consultations and new patients at an outpatient level. They play a very active role in all aspects of management.
