Renal CKD Nurse

Prevention of the progression of CKD is paramount to the future management of renal services and the emphasis should be on pre dialysis care and transplantation. Research has demonstrated that good pre dialysis management will slow down the descent on to renal replacement therapies thus reducing the burden of secondary care services.

In conjunction with Consultant Nephrologists, Primary Care colleagues and other members of the renal multidisciplinary team, the post holder will assess, plan implement and evaluate holistic care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5.

The post holder will be based in secondary care but will be expected to work closely with primary care, providing expert advice and training to both patients and health care professionals. An important aspect of this role is increasing the skills of non-secondary care health professionals within the area of prevention and shared management of CKD progression.

The aim will be to develop a clinical model for the management of chronic kidney disease patients through collaborative working. The focus is on creating a continuum of care which includes relevant professional colleagues within the Trust and the community working across professional and organisational boundaries.
