General paediatric renal services include the investigation and management of children with: Nephrotic/ Nephritic syndrome; urinary tract infection and congenital anomalies of the urinary tract; renovascular disease / hypertension; renal tubular & metabolic disorders & renal stone disease. The doctor in training would also be able to participate in the transition service to adult care and attend outreach clinics covering 10 hospitals in Yorkshire.
There are: weekly Clinical Grand Rounds plus weekly psychosocial and radiology meetings with monthly transplant listing, guidelines, governance & business meetings and histopathology meetings every 2 months.

There are monthly nephrology clinics and specialist joint clinics including rheumatology, neurology.
