Dr John Feehally has been a consultant Nephrologist at Leicester General Hospital since 1988, and was awarded Honorary Reader in Medicine status at the University of Leicester in 1996. Though he is tremendously well respected for his research into IgA Nephrology (the commonest form of glomerulonephritis), he has written extensively in otherareas including those of dialysis and transplantation. He has reviewed articles for all the leading journals and been active on the Editorial Boards of Experimental Nephrology, Oxfron Monographs in Clinical Nephrology, and the British Journal of Renal Medicine. He is well recognised on the conference lecture circuit in Europe and the USA, spending his sabbatical period at Boston University Medical Center.

Rick is a "great speaker, objective driven and a very good educator...as well as being a great collaborator, team player and prolific paper writer" Dr Hughes

"John has an incredibly inventive mind, thinksvisually, and I can't think of anyone in the UK who would be better placed to take on the role...the combination of John and Rick Johnson would be outstanding" Prof Mallick
