The Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) Committee was established by the UK Kidney Association in 1995 to prepare guidelines for the management of patients with renal disease and help identify the data to be collected by the UK Renal Registry. This aims to ensure up-to-date and safe practice, with the ultimate aim of improving patient outcomes.
The UKKA Clinical Practice Guidelines are not funded by any external organisation, commercial company or charity. Although reviewed by its members, the guidelines are editorially independent from the UK Kidney Association. In 2013 it was agreed that for appropriate topics The UK Kidney Association would produce joint adult and paediatric guidelines with the British Association for Paediatric Nephrology.
The UKKA Clinical Practice Guidelines committee are responsible ensuring new and revised guidelines are prepared using the process outlined in the Clinical Practice Guideline Development Manual
