The Irish Kidney Association

Structure

The Irish Kidney Association is a national organisation, covering the Republic of Ireland. It has a Board of Directors, drawn from all the branches, representing all parts of the country, with a mix of patients and non-patients.

Day-to-day operations are managed by the Chief Executive Officer assisted by a fulltime team based in Donor House.

There are 25 branches spread geographically around the country, each with a local committee + officers. These branches are the chief area of contact for patients and their families.

Total membership countrywide is around 3000 and is comprised of transplant patients, haemodialysis patients, peritoneal dialysis patients and also family members and carers of kidney patients.

The "Forget-Me-Not" flower is a symbol for life - dead wood of the Irish Kidney Association emblem represents the failed organ and the bandaged graft, with the new flower, symbolises the transplanted life giving organ.
