He is co-editor with Juergen Floege and Richard Johnson of ‘Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology’ – now in its fourth edition. He was co-chair with Daniel Cattran of the KDIGO clinical practice guideline on glomerulonephritis, published in 2012.

He was President of the UK Renal Association [2004-2007], and  President of the International Society of Nephrology [2011-2013]. In June 2013, he became chair of the ISN Global Outreach programs.  The ISN-ANIO India Committee builds on the expertise of ISN to bridge gaps in healthcare provision for kidney disease across India. The ISN-ANIO India Committee has raised substantial funds to support a number of innovative projects.
