Primary Care
The Primary Care Special Interest Group (SIG) brings together professionals working across primary care and kidney services to strengthen the prevention, identification and management of kidney disease.
The SIG provides a forum for sharing expertise, identifying unmet needs and improving coordination between primary and specialist care. Its work will support primary care colleagues and help develop more consistent pathways for people living with kidney disease.

What the SIG does
The SIG is developing its initial programme of work, with priorities shaped by its members. Areas of focus include:
- Education – developing and sharing practical resources to support the prevention, identification and management of kidney disease in primary care.
- Data and quality improvement – using data to understand variation, identify opportunities for improvement and measure progress.
- Guidelines – contributing to relevant guidance and supporting its dissemination and implementation within primary care.
- Unmet needs and pathways – identifying gaps in care and opportunities for closer coordination between primary and specialist services.
Workstreams will be established as the group agrees its priorities and begins developing specific projects.
