The renal supportive care community, comprised of consumers and clinicians, have developed a survey to capture the experiences of carers, where they play a major role in the patient care team, across a variety of clinical specialities.
A total of 40 feedback forms have been received from a range of specialties. In addition to renal supportive care, these include frailty, mental health, heart failure, dementia, drugs and alcohol, disability, aged care, brain injury and palliative care.
Based on this feedback, an amended version of the Carer Reported Experience Measures (CREMs) survey will soon be piloted at several sites.
Any sites interested in piloting the updated CREMs survey can contact the Renal Network.
