The main objective of the project is to better understand patient experiences of kidney disease services in Aotearoa and how these can be improved. The information provided will be integrated into recommendations designed to improve services for people living with kidney disease. A visual representation (or ‘map’) of the patient experiences will also be designed. This research is funded and approved by Kidney Health New Zealand, who have engaged an independent third party, Atlantis Health, to execute the project.
To take part you must have been diagnosed with kidney disease and be over 18 years old.
You will be invited to take part in an online focus group (approx. 1.5 hours). This will be recorded to help us make accurate notes for analysis. We will ask you about your experience and perceptions of support services provided to people living with kidney disease, especially at the point of diagnosis and when receiving dialysis, and for your ideas about improvements that might be useful. You may also be asked about your perspectives on equity and barriers to accessing support services.
To thank you for your time and participation, you will receive a $75 Prezzy card.
