Jonathon Hope

Jonathon is Co-Chair of the Programme Board for the Transforming Participation in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Jonathon’s education began with a BA Hons in Law and Economics at Keele University following which he spent the next 20 years working for HSBC, Nomura and Deutsche Bank as Asian Salesperson. Since then he has been Chair of the Kidney Disease Modernisation Initiative (04-08) – South East London, worked on the Advanced Renal Care Project (supportive care) 2012 and Co-Chair PPI C-Change Project (renal supportive care research) 2013-2015.

Outside of his work Jonathon has an interest in complementary therapies and spiritual development and he starts each day with yoga and meditation. In his spare time he enjoys swimming, movies, reading and spending time making jewellery with his wife, Naila.

If Jonathon were to be prime minister for a day he would ensure everyone living with a long term condition has access to a self-management course, and afterwards he’d dine with Ghandi to find out who inspired him.
