-
Last modified date:10 July 2007
The National Service Framework for Renal Services, launched in January 2004 to raise the quality of care provided for people with kidney disease, increase their choice, and minimise the impact of their disease. All key renal NSF documents are available from this page.
Renal NSF progress reports
The National Service Framework for Renal Services, Part One: Dialysis and Transplantation
This document sets five standards and identifies 30 markers of good practice which will help the NHS and its partners manage demand, increase fairness of access and improve choice and quality in dialysis and kidney transplant services.
The National Service Framework for Renal Services, Part Two: Chronic Kidney Disease, Acute Renal Failure and End of Life Care
This document sets four quality requirements and identifies 23 markers of good practice to help the NHS limit the development and progression of chronic kidney disease; minimise the impact of acute renal failure, and extend palliative care to people dying with kidney failure.

The National Service Framework for Renal Services: Working for Children and Young People
This document relates the standards and markers of good practice of the National Service Framework (NSF) for Renal Services to the care of children and young people, in greater detail than was possible in the NSF itself. It also brings them together with recommendations from the NSF for Children, Young People and Maternity Services, to make an accessible, user-friendly document for all those with an interest in services for children and young people with kidney disease.
