Medical doctors who look after children with kidney problems are called paediatric nephrologists. 

There is a team of 8 consultant paediatric nephrologists at Nottingham Children's Hospital who have look after different parts of the EMEESY network and who have different specialised interests. 

They are support by two registrars (senior doctors in training) who are part of the team for one to three years usually.  There are also more junior trainee doctors who rotate into the kidney team every 4-6 months.
