Among deceased past members of the UK Kidney Association are the leading nephrologists of their eras, as well as other ‘unsung heroes’ who played key roles in establishing nephrology in their own regions and institutions.

We honour them here and provide as much information as we can about their roles and achievements. As well as deceased past UKKA members we also include others from the UK and abroad, who were never UKKA members, but who made distinguished contributions to the development of nephrology in the UK. This resource is curated by John Feehally (UKKA Archivist), Joyce Popoola (UKKA Deputy-Archivist), Stewart Cameron, and Chris Winearls. Where a full obituary is not available, we provide a brief note outlining the individual’s key contributions.

If there is anyone on this list with no obituary posted, and you would be interested to write a piece; or if you have photographs or missing information which you would like to be posted; or if you think there are others whose names should be included here, please contact John Feehally
