The National Renal Indigenous Resource Collaborative
Kidney Health Australia and Amgen Australia have joined an initiative - The National Renal Indigenous Resource Collaborative (NRIRC) - to pool and share existing education resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In this process gaps in existing resources for Indigenous peoples will be identified and work commissioned to fill those gaps, will focus on standardising messages around Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
The project is committed to the broader goal of a healthy lifestyle and CVD risk reduction, but with a kidney focus. Materials approved have been well researched by NRIRC Steering Committee and judged as quality materials to assist in re‐enforcing the key messages and in turn educating the community itself. This material will be free and downloadable.
The Collaborative is extremely interested in locating quality education resources being used to educate in this area of health.
If you wish to recommend a resource for review by the NRIRC - email health@kidney.org.au or call 03 9674 4300. |
