Staff Training and Patient Education
The Renal Network, Inc. works with dialysis facilities, professional groups and community-based agencies and organizations to create workshops and educational programs for patients, family members, dialysis staff and the general population.
Programs for patients and family members may focus on self-esteem, communication, coping with depression, quality of life and anger management.
Staff in-service programs may address team building, behavior management, compliance issues and working with special populations.
Training modules are created in consultation and tailored specifically to meet the needs of the target population. Network staff can present training modules or materials can be made available to facility staff for presentation. Contact Kathi Niccum, Ed D, Director of Patient Services Department for additional information.
