Abstract
Case Description:
There have been unprecedented advances in the recommendations and care for people with CKD over the last 18 months with the PBS listing of new medications and release of new guidelines. This presentation will highlight key information from the new handbook, provide an overview of what has changed in CKD detection and management, and discuss new data in the context of practice implications for renal nurses. We will provide practical examples of ways in which renal nurses can engage with their local primary care practices to provide education on the new recommendations, get involved in CKD initiatives, support patients and foster a link between care delivered in the community and that delivered in the renal unit.
Discussion:
Nurses will gain and understanding of the new recommendations for detecting and managing CKD and how they can support the implementation of these in their local area.We will provide nurses with practical tools, resources and education that can be assist them to build connections with primary care practices.
Conclusion:
Renal Nurses are well positioned to support the implementation of the new guidelines in practice and have the opportunity to positively impact on patient outcomes.
