Home Dialysis QI Projects
Increasing access to home dialysis means understanding what works in practice. Kidney teams across the UK are testing new approaches, adapting services and using quality improvement to address the barriers that can prevent more people from receiving dialysis at home.
Sharing that work allows teams to learn from each other, build on approaches that have already been tested and avoid starting from scratch. By bringing together QI activity from across the kidney community, DAYLife aims to support further improvement and help increase the uptake of home dialysis.
