Capturing the history of paediatric nephrology in Europe

For the 50th Anniversary celebrations we collected video histories from colleagues around Europe illustrating the pioneers and what life was like for children with kidney disease at the beginnings of paediatric nephrology.

This is the story as told by those who were there. There are many unsung heros who have since passed away - this is their story too.
