Education and Development

 

Practical Guide to Renal dietetics 

This workbook has 2 sections (10 chapters) completed and uploaded to the website for ready for use, covering background kidney knowledge and CKD 1-5. It has been designed to supplement pre registration learning, but is staged so that it is also useful for qualified dietitians wanting to learn about Renal Nutrition. See more here

Barbara Engel and Claire Gardiner lead on this project, and are inviting expressions of interest to work with them in developing further chapters. If you would like to contribute to the planned work on Transplantation, AKI, Biochemistry, Malnutrition, Nephrotic Syndrome, Renal Stones or UKM, please get in touch. [email protected]

Fluid and Salt, and Undernutrition competencies are completed and uploaded to the website under Education / Competencies. here  Potassium Management and CKD-MBD Management are almost ready to upload, and Diabetes and CKD Competencies are being written. AKI competencies are planned. Fiona Willingham leads the working group.

MSc Module in Renal Nutrition

Barbara Engel has developed an MSc Module, which is available on the University of Surrey's website for 23/24. There is still ongoing work on internal details, such as the transferability (Recognition of Prior Learning), but you can view the content of the module, and that of the Nutritional Medicine MSc now.
