Here is the first round up for 2015 from the Kidney health web resource on the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet with a list of recent programs, resources, news, and upcoming jobs, courses and events that might be of interest and help promote Kidney health. The Kidney health yarning place currently has 70 mob members who you may like to start a yarn with about kidney health topics. Please feel free to contact us with any new topics you may like to discuss or post onto the yarning place. Invite your colleagues to join to so you can have a yarn.
