Renal Self Care Unit

[Helen Newman]

Hi all,
We are developing a self care unit for renal haemodialysis patients within our outpatient dialysis unit. It will be for patients who are capable of some form of independence with their dialysis treatment and also may help develop patients who can then move on to home training.

I am looking for any suggestions, lessons learnt or any procedures from any who have been involved in this type of care may be able to share

Thank you in advance,
Helen

APIC developed a fantastic Renal Guideline a few years ago. I can try and find a copy for you if youd like. It may have applicability or need minor modifications for Aussie settings. I dont know of other renal-specific resources.
Cheers
