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
