Abstract

This position statement was compiled following an expert meeting in March 2013, Zurich, Switzerland.

Discussions centred around optimal ways of creating an education team, setting realistic and meaningful objectives for patient education, and assessing the quality of education delivered.

Keywords: education; end-stage renal disease; guidelines; predialysis; renal replacement therapy.
