Primary care program
Kidney Health Australia has been providing accredited education to primary care health professionals since 2001. Our education is focused on the detection and management of kidney disease, as well as the link between kidney disease and other chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Primary care education is offered in the following formats:
- interactive face-to-face training
- practice quality improvement activities
- live webinars
- and on demand education - recordings and podcasts (available on our Kidney Health Professional Hub)
- Self-led activities
Content is designed for:
- General Practitioners & registrars
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Aboriginal health workers and practitioners
- and any other interested health professionals.
All education activities are governed by an expert committee, called the Primary Care Education Advisory Committee for Kidney Health Australia (PEAK). This committee is comprised of prominent kidney specialists, general practitioners, primary healthcare nurses, educators, a renal nurse, a pharmacist and consumers.
