The objectives of CKD.QLD are:
- to define CKD distribution, characteristics, stages, associations, co-morbidities and management
- to evaluate longitudinal CKD population trends and outcomes
- to identify treatment gaps and promote best practice
- to evaluate models of CKD health service delivery
- to sponsor CKD biomarker research and establishment of a bio-bank
- to support Kidney Supportive Care
- to develop CKD education and training streams
CKD.QLD operates under the guidance of an Advisory & Management Committee which is co-chaired by Professor Wendy Hoy (Centre for Chronic Disease) and A/Professor Helen Healy (RBWH). There is no fixed membership of the Advisory Committee, with all interested parties invited to participate, sponsoring a multidisciplinary & collegiate framework. The Committee meets fortnightly, on the first and third Monday of each month.
