CKD FORUM WEBPAGES
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 2007
*A questionaire about CKD was recently mailed to 10000 GPs. Results will be published in due course. the winner of the prize draw was Dr Martin M Jones, Swanswell Medical Centre, Birmingham.

Web-based educational resources for CKD, collated and developed by the Forum, are now available on the following web pages and include:
