Accreditation
This audit and feedback activity can be self-recorded for professional development hours. The audit’s duration will vary depending on the GP, their practice and the number of patients reviewed. NPS MedicineWise recommends allowing approximately 3-8 hours to complete 5-10 patients per audit. There are three audits available to choose from.
About
One in 10 Australian adults have signs of probable chronic kidney disease (CKD) and less than 10% of those affected are aware they may have the condition.
Knowing who is at risk of CKD allows targeted screening and early diagnosis. Early detection and intervention may slow or halt disease progression to help avoid dialysis and kidney transplant, and reduce absolute cardiovascular risk.
NPS MedicineWise has developed a series of three audit and feedback activities focused on the diagnosis and management of CKD. See Figure 1.

You can choose to complete any or all of the audit and feedback activities, although completion in a sequential order is recommended.
