CKD Forum

Early CKD: Management Resources for Primary Care and Renal Teams

The CKD Forum was set up at the end of 2004 as a support group for renal nurses who were collaborating with primary care teams. Subsequently the membership of the Forum grew and became a multidisciplinary group. In May 2006, after consultation with the Renal Association and the British Renal Society (BRS), it was agreed that the CKD Forum would become a project group of the BRS.

The CKD Forum aims to be recognised as a national lead for health care professionals in the prevention and management of CKD. This vision will be realised through:

  • A forum for sharing evidence-based practice to improve outcomes for patients with early CKD
  • The provision of leading-edge professional development and education in CKD for health care professionals
  • Collaboration with key stakeholders to influence CKD practice and policy
  • Projects 2009/10

This guide is designed to assist healthcare professionals, managers and commissioners to enhance and establish services for the administration of intravenous iron in primary care and community settings. This document is available to download here.
