Memorial service for Professor Donal O’Donoghue OBE

Kidney Care UK Chair of Trustees Professor Donal O'Donoghue passed away due to Covid-19 on Sunday 3 January 2021.

A memorial service will be jointly hosted by Kidney Care UK, the Royal College of Physicians, and UK Kidney Association on Wednesday 6 October and will feature the inaugural O’Donoghue lecture, delivered by Professor Chris Witty, presentations and reflections on Donal's life and career from family, colleagues, and the patient community.

As Donal touched so many lives during his career and was loved and appreciated by the wider medical family, the memorial will be livestreamed for all to watch.

Register for access on the RCP Player to watch the live stream.

The live stream will open 15 minutes before the start of the memorial, which begins at 1.00pm.

The memorial will also see the unveiling of our new fundraising initiative, the O'Donoghue Wall, including a new portrait of Donal. Further details of the programme will be revealed in due course on the Royal College of Physicians website.
