Clinical Service Committee

 Patient information leaflets

The committee was formerly the Service Provision Committee. It consists of regional (England) and national (Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) representatives who are clinical directors or lead clinicians in nephrology. It arranges the annual UK clinical Directors Forum (see reports) and aims to collaborate with other agencies interested in the provision of services, to examine the delivery of renal services and to highlight deficiencies in service provision. A new initiative in 2004/5 was the commissioning of patient literature giving information on common procedures. See Documents and reports for more activities.
