Join our engaging and interactive Adult Nursing taster session, where we'll briefly explore the human kidneys, how to look after them and some basic information on the challenges patients face when their kidneys have failed. By the end of this interactive taster session, you will be able to: - Describe the basic anatomy of the urinary system and the kidneys - State the function of the kidneys - Identify main causes of damage to the kidneys - Describe what chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage kidney disease (ESKD) are - Describe at a basic level, the dietary and fluid restrictions that may be necessary to manage kidney disease.

The academic staff are absolutely lovely and inviting, the student ambassadors are very helpful and engaging. The actual content is informative and interesting. Having an interactive aspect to the session was very fun and I enjoyed participating. It was an amazing insight to the subject and I really recommend
