Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Discovery
Project involvement opportunities
Health Innovation Manchester is working in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim to help the NHS understand the care of patients with CKD within the Greater Manchester health and care system.
Project objectives
The aim of the project is to understand the prevalence of CKD in the Greater Manchester region, and identify how current resources are utilised including the pathways and their impact on patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
The project will also identify opportunities for improving integration, outcomes, and the experiences of patients and professionals throughout the CKD journey.
Why should I get involved?
Bringing together insights and ideas from previous workshops, these sessions will explore opportunities, priorities and solutions to help improve the CKD pathway across Greater Manchester.
With input from patients, carers, healthcare professionals and stakeholders who are involved in the CKD pathway, we can work together to accurately map the CKD journey, develop solutions to barriers, and improve outcomes and experiences for everyone.
What is involved?
Taking part will involve a 3-hour workshop in Greater Manchester. See workshop dates and locations below.
Through group sessions we will use a process called Journey Mapping to exchange experiences, understand the key issues, and needs of multiple stakeholders and identify opportunities for improving the CKD pathway and patient care.
This design approach is participatory, enabling each contributor in small groups to contribute their expertise and experience to the process. The workshops will be facilitated by The Care Lab, a team of designers specialised in health care.
