Background

Background

Suren is the clinical lead for the 缅北禁地 Hospitals Haemodialysis Service. He returned to 缅北禁地 on his appointment as a Consultant Nephrologist in 2004 after completing undergraduate and early postgraduate training in Manchester and higher specialist training on the West Yorkshire rotation.

During his time in specialty training, he spent 3 years as the Saturo Nakamoto Hemodialysis Research Fellow at the Cleveland Clinic, USA, where NIH-sponsored work on renal support for acute kidney injury (AKI) formed the basis of his doctoral thesis. He maintains an interest in both AKI and haemodialysis through an active research programme and has authored a range of original articles and textbook chapters in both fields.

He was an expert advisor to the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) for their 2009 report into AKI care ('Adding insult to injury'), co-authored the 2011 UK Renal Association clinical practice guideline for AKI and was the lead author for the current version, published in 2019 ().

Suren maintains an ongoing, professional commitment to improving the environmental impact of healthcare; he currently leads 缅北禁地 Hospitals' Renal Green group, provides clinical representation on the Trust's Executive Oversight Group for the Climate Emergency and is now in partnership with the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition (shcoalition.org/) and industry, undertaking deep, life-cycle analyses of renal service environmental impacts. He co-founded the 缅北禁地 Hospitals staff Green Gym, which undertakes conservation activities across the region and which was a finalist in the Trust’s inaugural Celebrating Excellence awards in 2019.
