AbstractBackgroundWater scarcity is an escalating global challenge with growing relevance for healthcare systems. Nephrology is particularly affected, as dialysis is a life-sustaining yet highly…

Sustainability in kidney care is often perceived as requiring trade-offs in clinical quality, yet green nephrology can strengthen clinical excellence by identifying ‘sweet spots’ where improved…

Green nephrology has often focussed on dialysis, with its intensive use of water and energy. In comparison, non-dialysis outpatient care of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has received less attention.…

This toolkit is designed for all healthcare professionals interested in implementing sustainable change within their units. It provides practical knowledge, guidance, and a clear framework to help…

A practical, collaborative, open access e‑book designed to help support educators and medical schools in embedding education for sustainable healthcare (ESH) into their medical curricula. As a…

Case study describing a water conservation programme in haemodialysis, focussing on reduced dialysate flow and high-recovery reverse osmosis, to achieve substantial water savings without compromising…

The current kidney care model-focused on late-stage disease and in-center hemodialysis-is unsustainable, because of costs, environmental burden, poor outcomes, and reduced quality of life.The 78th…
