Kidney Transplant PSP – report of progress

As you may be aware, the Centre for Evidence in Transplantation is co-ordinating the James Lind Alliance Priorities Setting Partnership in Renal Transplantation.  The process aims to bring together pateints, carers and heathcare professionals to identify and prioritise areas for future research in kidney transplantation.

The second steering group meeting was held at the Royal College of Surgeons in London on the 30th March. The first survey was summarised – we received 498 uncertainties from 183 respondents, with an excellent mix of backgrounds (patient, carer and professional) and topics covering over 50 categories.

The steering group ran through the uncertainties submitted from the first survey and narrowed them down to 97 indicative uncertainties. Over the coming months, we will be working hard to identify existing evidence and develop a process for prioritisation.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the first survey for your responses. If you would like to learn more about the PSP, and get involved, please visit the PSP website.
