Hospitals save lives — but they’re also huge polluters. I wrote for @BloombergGreen about Dr Forbes McGain, the Melbourne doctor pushing to break medicine’s addiction to single-use plastics & other sources of medical waste. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

🧵1/9 Could we improve kidney care by rethinking who gets referred to a nephrologist? Our latest study from the SCREAM cohort suggests: yes — if we base it on predicted risk rather than fixed eGFR/ACR cutoffs. 📄 Caldinelli et al, 2025, @NDTsocial 🔗shorturl.at/0CzNq

My favourite thing about #DNT2025 - the people! Loved working with Scotty Crawford and Kylie Martin- passionate, considering every detail, wanting to take our colleagues on a journey and challenge them. @ANZSN is very fortunate to have up and coming leaders like them 🙌🏻

And as he was introduced, one of the sexy men in nephrology, @brendonneuen discussed approaches of embedding kidneys in the mind of funders and research in clinical practice. A consistent message in #DNT2025 has been on what can be achieved when we partner with consumers.

Hannah Wallace challenged the status quo of early CKD management with different models of care, working with primary care, utilising nurse practitioners, and technology/telehealth, trying to #MakeKidneysSexy through a community and public health approach. #DNT2025
