Best Practice Approaches to theRenal Service Capacity Challenge

What are your capacity challenges?

From responding to unexpected patients to coping with the general day to day increase in patient numbers and needs, this conference will offer you best practice information on how to deal with your demand.

• Full Capacity Solutions: inter-unit co-operation and innovative ideas to tackle the ‘bursting point’ problem

• Optimising your Resources: practical insight into maximising the use of your equipment and workforce for a real impact on your capacity challenge
• Positive Patient Management: how to smooth the patient pathway from referral to dialysis through effective pre-dialysis and patient choice

This conference will consider how to adapt your working practices to tackle the ever increasing demand that imposes itself on your service. With insight into other trusts’ working models you will leave this conference with a host of case study ideas to take back and implement within your unit.

• ‘Bursting Point’: tackling the constraints and highlighting the opportunities for moving beyond full capacity
• Regional Inter-Linking: adjusting to working within a regional structure to develop extra capacity
• Fulfilling Protocol for Holiday Patients: what is your isolation protocol and how does it compare?
• List Management: examining your allocation process and reducing patient waiting times

This conference seeks to give you the insight and knowledge to make real improvements to your patient pathways and service delivery. This unique day will identify the gaps so that you can go back to your department and use your resources to their optimum potential.
