Latest winning review in Trainees’ eJournal Club – Congratulations Dr Katie Liston!

27 November, 2020

We are delighted to announce our eJournal Club Submission Winner for September - October 2020

Congratulations to Dr Katie Liston, who is in her first year of Basic Specialist Training, for submitting the winning review for September - October 2020.

Her submission is entitled “Dapagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD study)”.

Dr Liston chose this article because SGLT2 inhibitors are emerging as powerful cardio-renal protective agents. This study was the first to demonstrate benefit in chronic kidney disease in a non-diabetic cohort. 

Dr Liston is interested in pursuing a career in either endocrinology or nephrology, and she is currently working in Naas General Hospital. 

You can read the winning submission below.
