Chronic Kidney Disease in Primary Care (Virtual)

WEBINAR

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO UK REGISTERED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ONLY

Location: Microsoft Teams

Event Agenda

Why Should Healthcare Professionals Attend This Webinar?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is common, under-diagnosed, and frequently progresses silently, with significant implications for cardiovascular risk and long-term outcomes. Many clinicians report uncertainty around interpreting renal markers, staging disease accurately, and knowing when to intensify management or refer. Inconsistent monitoring and delayed intervention can lead to avoidable progression and missed opportunities for cardiovascular risk reduction.

This webinar provides a practical, evidence-based approach to CKD identification and management in primary care. Led by Professor Ahmet Fuat, the session focuses on translating guidance into everyday clinical decision-making using real-world scenarios.

Key Learning Objectives

Early identification & risk stratification

• Diagnose CKD accurately using eGFR and ACR

• Interpret trends over time, not isolated results

• Stage CKD correctly and recognise patients at highest risk of progression or cardiovascular events

Practical management & referral decisions

• Deliver evidence-based CKD management in primary care, including:

  • Blood pressure targets

  • Use of RAAS inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors

  • Medication review and sick-day rules

  • Appropriate monitoring frequency

• Understand when to refer to nephrology and when shared care is appropriate

Key Benefits

This CPD-accredited webinar will help healthcare professionals to:

• Improve clinical confidence in diagnosing, staging, and risk-stratifying CKD

• Optimise treatment decisions to slow disease progression and reduce cardiovascular risk

• Apply UK guideline-aligned care consistently in primary care practice

Additional Information
