BTPT is a group of UK physician trainees, researchers and fellows passionate about solid organ transplantation across a range of medical specialties. The society was founded in April 2023 and seeks to promote engagement amongst like-minded physician trainees and provide educational, training and academic opportunities to help further their careers.

This is the second event in our ongoing education series.

We have two fantastic speakers who will discuss the management of common presentations in transplant patients presenting to hospital acutely unwell.

Dr Caroline Dudreuilh (Consultant Nephrologist, Guy's Hospital, London) will discuss the approach to rejection in patients with a renal transplant.

The webinar is open to trainees of all grades and specialties. We hope you can join us as we start our journey into the world of transplant medicine!
