17 – Working to improve kidney health in primary care
Driving changes in ways of working can take a long time in primary care. Developing the evidence base and convincing GPs across the country of the benefits can be difficult when there are many competing demands on their attention. The SPCR has helped to support research focused on implementation, and this is now leading to strategies to improve kidney health.
Tom Blakeman, a GP and Clinical Senior Lecturer in Primary Care at The University of Manchester, has spent more than a decade studying strategies to improve care and outcomes for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or who have sustained acute kidney injury (AKI).
