Shining a light on those who have made a difference

RSA's awards program recognises outstanding achievement by members who are advancing the care of people with kidney disease.

In 2023, we redesigned our awards to better reflect the incredible work RSA members are doing for patients and their community. Nominating yourself, your team or a colleague for an award is an opportunity to shine a light on those who have made a difference. The winner of each award category will be announced and presented with their award at the Conference Party to be held at the RSA Conference in June 2025.
