Standards and guidelines selected for preparation by individuals/teams will be notified to Dr Rees who will ensure that there is no duplication.
It is hoped that all trainees will select a guideline during their training.
Draft standards and guidelines will be posted on the BAPN website and the BAPN membership will be notified and invited to comment. Members will be able to post their views on the website over the next 2 months.
When the review process is finished the standard/guideline will be posted on the website in final form.

Patient Care Surveys:
The BAPN Clinical Standards and Guidelines Committee, with the help of Dr Lesley Rees, have developed patient care surveys that may be used to assess patient / parent satisfaction with dialysis and transplantation services within renal units. These surveys are published below, in draft format, and we welcome comments from the BAPN membership regarding their utility, and comments for improvement. The consultation period will last until April 30th. Following this period, the final surveys will be published on the website, for units to use if they wish.
Please send any comments regarding the surveys to David.Milford@ bch.nhs.uk

Kidney Care Plans
NHS Kidney Care has kindly made the following care plans available to BAPN members. These are modifiable documents that may be useful in planning the care of our patients, and are a written document that patients can keep with them.
The Clinical Standards and Guidelines committee and NHS Kidney Care are interested in knowing whether you find the care plans useful, and we welcome comments regarding their use.
