All specialist registrars will have an outpatient commitment and have the opportunity to attend Transplant, Transplant Work-up, Low Clearance, Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis clinics as well as General Nephrology clinics. The details of the rotation are organised after consideration of the training needs of the staff involved. The Consultant working patterns are closely integrated, and a similar level of mutual support and team-working is required from the middle grade staff.

Inpatient work includes day to day supervision of the junior medical staff on ward 50, review of referrals prior to discussion with the Consultants and attendance on Consultant ward rounds, renal procedures (insertion of dialysis catheters, native and transplant kidney biopsy). Outpatient clinics are held at Hull Royal Infirmary, with weekly outreach clinics at Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Bridlington and fortnightly Goole clinics. These Clinics are Consultant led.
