Alport info day in Nottingham July 2025
In July, we welcomed families living with Alport Syndrome to Nottingham for an Alport Information Day. Living with Alport can be very isolating as you rarely meet anyone with Alport in your area. People seemed to value the connections as children, as parents, as individuals living with Alport Syndrome. We thank the wonderful clinicians and researchers who joined us to share the latest updates on Alport, Alport research etc.
