Health education websites

We do this by developing and driving initiatives to ‘Prevent, Detect, Support’ and work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders and partners to carry out this critical task.
We have a rigorous quality assurance and approval process to ensure the health education information we present is evidence-based and reflects current best practice for each of our websites. This process includes:
- Research, writing and editing – All kidney health resources are researched, written, edited and proofread by our publications editorial team who have extensive experience in the health sector.
- Verification (external) – All kidney health resources are checked and approved by external content experts who are specialists in their fields and include clinicians, academics and other allied health professionals.
- Verification (internal) – All kidney health resources are checked by our health publications editorial team and then referred to other areas of our organisation as appropriate.
- Reviews and updates – All kidney health resources are reviewed annually by external reviewers and approved by our health publications editorial team.
