Healthworker Dialysis Preference

Heathworker Dialysis Preference

Patients approaching End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are usually asked what their preferred modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is. It is not known what UK healthcare workers would choose for themselves if they needed RRT and whether or not it would differ from what their patients choose. This short survey is designed to explore this question. All responses are anonymised and you will not be identifiable from any work that results from the survey. Thank you for agreeing to take part in answering the questionnaire.
