CEAPIR RENAL SURVEY 2011

Do renal patients receive the required information to make an informed choice?

CEAPIR is working to reduce the burden of renal disease on both the individual and society. Its mission is to improve the quality of life of people with renal disabilities in Europe. In 2006, CEAPIR published the results of a pilot survey which gave a picture of what access to information for renal patients in Europe to make an informed choice was like at that time in 6 European countries.

A wider European survey focusing on information to patients would update this situation. This survey would raise awareness on lack of information about renal replacement options and reveal whether patient choice is secured. The questionnaire has been structured following the 12 Minimum Requirements for Best Practice in Information.

Thank you for filling-in the questionnaire in the language of your choice on line or printed version to be sent by  post to the Patient Organisation in your country.

Please note that any responses submitted after today, Friday November 25th 2011, will not contribute to the European wide study. However, you can continue to enter data under your chosen language as it will help build the knowledge base for your own country.
