Our UK-wide survey found major variation in:
• Who inserts or removes lines
• Infection prevention practices
• Line dwell times & CRP thresholds
• Post-procedure protocols
It’s time we asked why something so fundamental to dialysis care remains so variable — and whether national guidance is overdue.

“Mapping national variation in #hemodialysis #CVC management: A UK-wide survey.”

One of the commonest procedures in renal care — central venous catheter insertion — yet still no national standard for how it’s done.
Sorry that I’m late to the chat - you did the right thing by observing for 24 hours - many would have removed the tube at presentation and exchange one piece of plastic for another - I’d agree with Graham - at least 3 weeks of IP treatment with anti fungal cover - get an AvF long term ..

Important research mapping the evidence for gender, race, and ethnicity biases experienced by physicians bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/2...

💡 What we can do as a specialty:
🔹 Recognize and address biases in recruitment, retention, and leadership
🔹 Support mentorship and sponsorship for underrepresented groups
🔹 Conduct nephrology-specific research on workplace equity and career progression
📢 Nephrology colleagues—this research is a wake-up call.
Biases in medicine affect career progression, leadership opportunities, and even patient care. Yet, nephrology remains underrepresented in research on gender, race, and ethnicity bias. Our study highlights the gaps—now we need action
Call to Action
🔬 The data is clear: bias in medicine is real and under-researched. We need:
📌 More research on race, ethnicity, and intersectionality
📌 Focus on interventions—not just problems
📌 Diverse leadership in medical research
The Bigger Picture
This research is just the beginning. The lack of studies on racial and ethnic bias and the absence of intervention research highlights a critical need for action. We call for a more inclusive and solution-focused research agenda in medicine! 🌍📢 #EquityInMedicine #AcademicResearch
Key Findings
🔎 Key findings from our study:
✅ Career progression, discrimination, and motherhood were mostly studied by female authors
✅ Burnout and mental health were predominantly studied by male authors
✅ Few studies examined race and ethnicity bias!
Why We Did This Research and
Why does bias in medicine persist?
Despite progress, female and minority ethnic doctors face career barriers, lower pay, and fewer leadership opportunities. Our study explores the authorship trends and key themes in research on medical workplace bias. 📊📖
🚨 New research alert! 🚨 Our latest study, published in BMJ Open, explores gender, race, and ethnicity biases experienced by hospital physicians. We conducted an umbrella review to map the evidence and highlight key gaps. Read more here bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjo...

#Nephrology Fact for #Valentine’s Day:
Dark chocolate 🍫contains oxalates, which can contribute to kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
Those with a history of calcium oxalate stones are often advised to moderate their intake of high-oxalate foods, including dark chocolate. 💝🩺
Before she goes, she takes one last sip of coffee, looks up, and asks, “Will it all be worth it?”
I smile, knowing the late nights, the sacrifices, the moments of doubt, and the juggling act of medicine, motherhood, and leadership.
“Every bit of it.”
